Do I wait or jump on something now?

OK, here's the deal... I just upgraded to a Samsung 225BW. I've gone from 1024x768 to 1680x1050. My 6600GT was doing just fine with my old monitor, but I now dip below 30fps in CS:S with all the eye candy off.

But... Do I wait for nVidia to put out the 8600GT or GS or whatever it is? Or do I jump on something from the 7 series, since all I'll be playing is CS:S and TeamFortress 2 when it comes out? I'd like to have all the eyecandy back and be able to use AA and AF.

What would you guys do?

Oh, BTW, I'm running Vista RC1, so I know that fps does take a dip just from that.

You answered your own question when you said that you'll only be playing team fortress and CSS. Get a 7900GS for $200 or a 7900GTO if you can find one and you'll be fine. Sell your 6600 GT for $50 or $60 while you still can.
