Ok people, I recently got a new computer and sold off my old one with my old video card in it to get the money to spend on a new video card, but I'm kinda torn here.

I have the money in my pocket, but don't know if I should go out and get the Radeon 9700 Pro or wait for the Geforce FX card to come out. Sure I'm thinking here that the Geforce FX card will probably be superior from what I've been reading, but the thing is that for one, I don't know exactly when it's coming out, they say either Feb or March and they don't know a definate price $399 or $499.

I guess that the price isn't much of a factor, it's the waiting, if I had to wait until early Feb, i could do it, but I'm afraid that it might not be until March and looking around, there's not one site that I can see, that you can pre-order the card, so that's not a good sign that the card is gonna be out in the very near future.

Right now, I don't have any kind of video card on my system, it's just the onboard video, which blows for any 3D game and I feel like I'm going through gaming withdrawels, I need my Battlefield 1942 and Mafia to play.

I've found the Radeon 9700 Pro as cheap as $274 shipped, so I was thinking on jumping on that, but am afraid that I'll be kicking myself in the ass when the Geforce FX card finally does come out.

What would you do ?? Hold out or drop the cash now. I guess that with the Radeon down in price like that, I'd have spare money for other goodies also.
