my wife picked me up a 32 inch HD TV/ gaming LCD last night.
Sharp - AQUOS 32" 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV - LC-32GP1U

im currently running a EVGA 8800 GTS.
with this new LCD TV, that brings me up to 4 LCDS. before i was only able to run 2 LCDS off mt 8800 GTS, but im thinking it is time to buy a new card, and try to get all 4 LCDs running.

i was thinking of picking up a 9800 GX2, but tossed around teh idea of just picking up another 8800 GTS.
i guess i could run SLI when i really want to get good FPS, but that would be a pain to switch it around.

another thing i wanted if i bought a new card is something with a HDMI conenction. i know i can do a DVI to HDMI, but would rather have something that is true HDMI, which the 9800 GX2 has.
BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card - BFGR981024GX2E
( wife works at BB corporate, so cant deny the employee discount)

so... should i hold out and just get a 8800 GTS and wait until nvisia releases thier next line of cards... when ever that is, or drop the cash on a 9800 GX2?? or is there somethign else that you guys can recommend???

i have nothing against ATI, i just dont like them. i do like that they have TIVO on some cards tho.

this new LCD TV will primarily be a gaming LCD. if im in my office at my desk, im playing games. i have a TV in here already to watch TV.

so anyways, thanks in advanced.

also, maybe some info..

could i run the TV off teh HDMI, and still run 2 LCDs off the DVI if i picked up a 9800 GX2?

I would say get the 9800GX2, only because Nvidia hasn't said a word regarding the 10 series cards, so who knows when they'll be hitting the presses.

well i decided on buying the BFG 9800 GX2
Newegg.com - BFG Tech BFGE981024GX2E GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (512MB per GPU) 512-bit (256-bit per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

the main reason i picked BFG over the other brands is because of the included HDMI cable. which if i bought that seperately its about $70.

When my boss ever asks me what I'm doing, I say "research" and he walks away.
