    Well, it looks like I know what my next card will be as well.

    One question though, does anyone know/think if this card will "need" PCI-Express 2.0? I'm still using a AB9 QuadGT, p965 chipset.

    No one really has an answer for this, but there is no reason you can't sell your current board and upgrade to an affordable P45 based board. That's what I'm doing, and I'll only be running an HD4870. There are hardly any articles out there that compare single card results on PCI-e 1.0/1.1 vs PCI-e 2.0, but I read one where the 9800GX2 started to get choked at 1920X1200+ resolution with AA/AF, but only on certain games.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
