Should i upgrade?

[grayp95]

Fast question, i just threw a dual core system together with a 512 mb x1950 pro. Should i try and sell the pro and get a 8800 gts? Or should i just wait a few months and upgrade once all the dx10 cards are out? Oh by the way i dont have the money for it really, id have to go back to 1g of ram instead of the 2 gigs i just bought as well.

Thanks

Are you happy with the way your games are performing? You know what an 8800gts would bring to the table should you buy one ..is that what you want?

It is just something that you are going to have to decide for yourself .. Vista is coming , yes.. ATi's card will be out soon, hopefully... nVidia will probably pull something out of the proverbial hat once that happens .. prices on anything out today will of course be cheaper tomorrow , and it will always be that way , as there will always be something better looming on the horizon.. if your running Vista now , then there is no support for 8800's as of today .. you have all the info you need to make a decision to meet your needs/wants right now .. you know your own financial situation as well ..

So ... yooooooooooo ....make the call

I think from what ive read, and from what im upgrading from, that using the x1950 now and then upgrading to a DX10 card in a few months when the new stuff is out, and spending less when i upgrade is the way to go.

This new system is already leaps and bounds better then my old one no need to miss paying my rent to get a card that i might be able to get in 6 months for half the price. Or in 6 months i might not even want. Oh well such is computing life.
