Hello,

I'm looking to buy a new GPU after being frustrated with my 5850 on newer games like Batman: Arkham City and Saint's Row: The third.

$300 is about my maximum budget for a card. My PSU is 650 Watts, i have an i7-920, 8gb of ram, 7200rpm 2tb HD, game ONLY with this PC, and i run everything at 1920x1200.

I don't want to CF, and saw this deal at Newegg. I was just wondering what Tom's hardware community thinks of this card, and if i should jump on it immediately or wait for a refresh (or better yet - the 7000 series?).

I'm not against switching to nVidia either, so if there's a GTX 580 somewhere for the same price let me know.
