Hello everyone,

I plan on buying an HD6950, but right now I want to wait until BF3 comes out because the price might drop for an HD6950. Many source have told me that the HD6950 should be enough to run BF3 on medium-high settings.

Do you guys think that the price could drop by more than 50$ between now and October 25?

One one hand, I kind of need a new graphics card right now ever since upgrading to a 1080p monitor. Many games I play require much lower settings. Further, Newegg is offering a free copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which many source have told me is a great game.

On the other hand, I dont want to buy the card now because there might be a chance that the card's price will drop considerably.

Do you guys think there is any chance that the price will drop or should I just go ahead and buy a replacement card?
