I wanna know if this card will be enough to play at least for one year (until 2009)to the next generation of games ( with everything at maximum) and for fps creator X10.
This card is so expensive and I don't wanna change it again next year because it become old and out of date...

the card:

8800GTS 640mb

My computer is:

4Gb ram
Motherboard Asus P5B
RME HDSP 9632 professional sound card (with 2 expansions)

Only thing you left out was your sound card, what is it?

Other than that you will be able to play games for quite awhile.

Even when Direct X10.1 comes out I don't think developers will be jumping on that bandwagon until Microsoft knows that it is going to stay with the current hardward.

I am personally waiting for the geforce 9 series,because the 9800gtx is supposed to be 2x as powerful as the 8800 ultra. And I like that,haha. So thats why I am only getting an 8600gts for now. Then in about 2-6 months after the geforce 9 series come out,I'll upgrade.

Man I can't read.

Yes, everything is fine about that computer. The only thing that may become out of date is again if people adopt Microsoft Direct X10.1 then your card (all of the 8000 series) may become out of date.

But I don't see that happening to fast as DX10.1 doesn't add too much. Just fixes for 64 bit calucations.
