I have a very worthy 1GB 4870 and it plays all my games fine max settings 1920 x 1200. I'm wondering since the price drop on all the 4000 series cards that the 5000 series may be coming later this summer? I read a few places as early as end of July wonder if this is true. If so it will be nice to upgrade to a possible 1Gb 5870 or whatever it will be called and get a head start on Dir X11, even though games wont support it till later on. Wonder if Modern Warfare 2 in November will have Dir X11 support since Win 7 will be out for a month then when it releases, nice thought. Thanks for any input.

Nice rig. Well im not sure when the next gen cards are coming out but it shouldn't be to far from now. I wouldn't blow money on a next gen cards unless you absolutely need to upgrade. Let the problems pass on the 1st gen of dx11. Modern Warefare 2 should work on dx 9/10/11 but it wont have numerous dx11 features since dx11 is very new but you should see dx10 features.
