If your CPU isn't top-of-the-line and you're planning on playing 720p or 1080p H..264 then you may want to upgrade for the decoding offload even though the gaming performance will be a bit worse.
And nobody needs a low cost DX10 card until we find out if low cost cards will run DX10 games. Decent chance they will once developers figure out how to write for DX10. But right now nope.I've asked the question in various forums and the general consensus is that if you already have a 7950GT, keep it. Unless you really need a low cost DX10 card.
I have an 8500GT for HDTV playback work and it works wonderfully but is not really made for games. As stated above, if gaming is your concern, stay with your card until the 8700 comes out latter in the year. It is the one ace that Nvidia still has in its hand to play. We will most likely see it after the HD2400 and the HD 2600 come out so it can out shine those cards.
It will also be a way for Nivida to leak rumors about the 8700 before ATI’s low and mid line cards come out to keep others from buying the ATI cards until they bring out their card.

8700?
Probably refering to the rumor that there will be a 256bit, 512mb ram GTS. More likely the name will be 8600GTX or 8800GS, if it even exists.
The cards existence is only known because of one site that posted a jpg of its existence. While I would like to believe it exists, I'm skeptical.
