Is it wise to get the 9800 pro 128 mb now?

Nividia's new 6600GT AGP chip (according to what I have read) beats out the 9800pro, and is more so, in competition with ATI's 9800XT 256MB. Read this on Firingsquad.com

Check it out...I believe that seems to be the new "bang for the buck card".

That is another article from them, about the different cards that are comming out for that Chip...the BFG OC (although a bit more expensive) seems to deliver the best performance out of all of them, since it comes from the factory already OCed a bit. Hope this helps.

Heheh... at that time, 6600 wasn't out yet
