I'm thinking about picking up a 9800NP at circuit city for $250+tax=$267.49. Or I could wait and get a 9800Pro. Do you guys think I'll be able to pick up a pro card for about the same price next month?

Newegg has the Pro for $298... you don't think we could get a $20 drop when the XT comes out? If I could get a pro for 278 before halflife is out I would wait. Otherwise gemme a NP NOW!!

There's a chance that the NP will mod to a Pro. I think it's worth it to just get the NP now.

Click to expand...

Is that the Sapphire card? That is a pro lite or something that uses a 9700PCB. I don't know much about it except that's its different and has a black board. Do a search for Pro Lite.
