Well I have the itch and I dont know what to do right now.

I have until feb 26 to step up my BFG 9800gtx oc video card.If i go to a gtx 260 MC it will cost me $150 right now.I am now at 1680x1050 so I am not seeing the FPS that I was @1280x720.I am still getting good framerates but now i have the itch for more.

I have no clue if there is gonna be any new nvidia single gpu cards coming out by feb 26 or not.

What would you guys do in my shoes? Would you upgrade to the gtx 260 now or wait for the new cards to come out and hope they lower the price of the gtx 260 so my upgrade will be cheaper.

I see in alot of benchmarks that the gtx 260 is getting about 30 fps more in some games.I want my next video card purchase to be the last one for about 2 years so I am kinda lost in what I should do.

Sure I can sell my current bfg 9800gtx for about $100 plus shipping but I dont know if I should hold off and wait.Should I get a hd4870 1 gb card,gtx 260 or just hold off and see what new cards are gonna be coming out.

Thanks for looking guys I appreciate it
 
Well the 260 can only go down in price. So i say wait until the last week of your step up and see whats available and decide then. Naturally that's when prices will be at their lowest.
 
When are the new cards supposed to come out? Is it only gonna be pancake cards or is there gonna be some single gpu cards coming?

Maybe there will be some nice single gpu cards coming so the gtx 260/280 price comes donw some
 
Get your GTX 260 MaxCore and be happy. You'll never upgrade if you're always waiting for the next big thing, because a faster board is always around the corner.
