Probably the 280 GTX but for now, I'll wait and see if drivers in the future will optimize it.

I have an 8800GTX, and I'm still satisfied with it, though I think it heats up my LL A-70.

I did not vote.

You should ask this question AFTER the release of the 4850 and 4870.

I have ran 1 8800GTX ANS3 video card and it still rocks. I now have two and I score close to 16000 on futuremark06. If you are looking to go on the cheap, the 9600 is a great choice. I have it in my media center pc and my best friend has it in his main rig running two 32" LCD monitors with no problems. We played FEAR on it and it was very smooth game play. Thats one of the best cards for the money...

None of the above so I won't vote in the poll.
I'll go for either the ATI 4850 or the 4870 (probably the 4870).

I would wait to see what the Radeon 4800 series looks like; I own an 8800GTX and have since a month or so after launch and have been very satisfied with it aside from Crysis, but even the Geforce GTX 280 wouldn't do Crysis justice.

My vote would go to the G92 8800GTS, but it's not on the list.

I already own a factory overclocked 3870x2. I meant to vote 3870x2 as it's an efficient and elegant solution compared to the slightly more powerful 9800gx2, but I accidentally clicked on "See Results" and not "Vote" so my vote didn't count.

 

You left out the choices arriving next week and in the fall:

 

4850, 4870 and 4870x2.

 


What I want is a 4870x2 in the fall.
