I havent been keeping up to much lately, however i am looking to upgrade now to the best vid card solution. I was looking at the gx2 1 gig 7950 set up
I mostly play unreal tournament and i am awaiting the new ut2k7 version.
I would like to know if theres any news on dx 10 cards? How soon will something better be out? basically i dont want to buy the best now to have something even better come out right after ive spent my money so thats what im trying to figure out. should i buy now or wait?
I have a AMD 4000+ 2GB and 7800 GT right now....I have wasted my money several times upgrading at points in time where immediately after I buy some expensive part, I find out that something new comes out, etc.
Example: Christmas 2005. I had a 3200+ 939...I waited until almost summer 06, 4-6 months after Christmas 2005 when I wanted to upgrade my proc....I finally decided to get the 4000+ BAM....Core 2 duo. If I would have waited 2 more months, I could have gotten 1.5-2x price per performance ratio.
I can't wait to build a new computer . However, this time I am waiting. It is totally gonna be the shit...I don't know if I'm waiting for DX10 or not, the x1900xt is like 350 bucks or less....that seems like such a good deal. However, I'm just gonna wait it out even longer so I can be ensured a pwnsauce rig.
Plus, I already have an x-fi fatality and thx 5.1 logitechs.
I wonder if many new things will be better than the average core 2 duos by Christmas 2006.

nvidias 8800gtx is due mid-nvember according to all the press.
I'd wait till about 1 week before UT2007 comes out to buy a new card. Then, you're almost guaranteed to have a sweet DX10 card that won't have as many bugs as when they first release. Do some research, though, to see if price cuts or new cards are coming at that time.
i second that...
you already seem to have a nice setup if UT is all you play.....its a nice card for other games also even the newly released ones...
and amidst the speculations that DX 10 cards should be out this or early next year its worth to wait for them.......
but if you want you can go for a low mid range card like 7600 gt for now and upgrade to dx10 card when it releases.... 8)
cheers
