Okay,
Over the past 3 days I have been looking at the 8790 and I have to say it looks awsome. I have a awsome 8890 as well but I have a sickness and if I see a better (or what I think is better) system. I want it. Now I have been looking for a reason to validate my decision to go to the 8790 and I think I have found it.
1. I use this system ALL DAY as I am a programmer by day and a gamer by night. I have it set to the native 1600x1200 and my eyes are killing me.
2. The 9700
3. The widescreen seems to give me some extra screen space, and looks amazing.
SO..........
In order for me to get one of these I need to sell my current Rock Solid 8890v.
I wish I could keep both but I cant due to $$.
So. Here are the specs of my system.
