I can't wait till the 6th of December I want to pre-order the nVIDIA 8800M GTX SLI and I can't wait till I get it. So is anyone else going to pre-order the 8800M GTX SLI?

I'm stoked for it, but I'm going to wait to see how it performs on Vista 64. I've had pretty poor performance using my 7950 SLIs in Vista 64. I hope the drivers are good. I haven't really seen the framerates I was expecting with anything. Maybe it's the fact I'm running dx9 cards in a dx10 environment. So hopefully the 8800s will fix that.
I've heard Vista doesn't permit drivers as much direct access to sound & video as Xp. They have to go through an extra abstraction layer in the Os. That's what it looked like when I was running it.
It may be a year or more before it permits all the functionality and performance of Xp. If ever.

I was considering getting the 8800 GTX until I saw the price tag attached!!! 300-500 I could handle, but almost 900 :shock: !!! thats a little
too sweet for my blood... I just hope this means the 7950 GTX price will drop. :wink:
