I like upgrading as much as gaming. I'll upgrade when there isn't often a compelling reason to do so. That and running a 30" monitor means I'm always left wanting for more performance.
Just trying to see if anyone else out there feels the same way as me about upgrading right now. I'm a firm believer in not upgrading unless you actually need to. I see tons of people upgrading(or sidegrading) from 8800gt's,8800gts's, 8800gtx's, 3870x2's to 4850's, 4870's, and gtx 260's and don't really understand it unless you've got a 30" monitor.
I've got an 8800gt oc and e2180 @ 3ghz and still don't have any games besides crysis that I can't run @ max setting @ 1920x1200. I play Company Of Heroes, Grid, COD4, HL2+both episodes, DOD/CS: Source, Bioshock, BF2, C&C Generals, MOH Airborne, Farcry, etc. Sure I would like to play crysis again @ 1920x1200 this time around @ very high, but it just ain't happening with today's hardware....I'll glady wait for better hardware. It seems as if everyone is upgrading for more fps when the minimum fps that you already get is acceptable.
Personally I am going to play the upcoming games that I want with the most graphical demanding last such as Farcry 2(if coded poorly) and Crysis Warhead.
I'm thinkin the 8800gt oc will still hold its own in GTA4, Brothers In Arms Hells Highway(maybe), C&C3 Red Alert, COD5, and Saints Row 2
When I really need more performance quad cores will be way ahead and I'll pick up a Q6600 or q9650 for way cheaper along with whatever card is better then the 4870x2

that and other expensive hobbies put upgrading on the back burner for me.![]()
I agree that upgrading from 8800 GT's is kinda pointless, but I'm coming from a P4 @ 2.4 GHz and a Radeon 9700 Pro, so my q6600 and 4850 is gonna be a godly upgrade.
so many big things have already past you bye.What?! You don't need to upgrade at all!
I'm coming from an Athlon XP 1800!! and Radeon All-in-wonder 8500! And I'm still waiting for the next big thing.....

oh and I take it gaming is not high on your list. lol
.. its going to be ATI 5870x4
I upgraded from a 8800GT to a GTX260 for one reason only....Clear Sky.
