I currently have a older 7800GTX card and was wondering what would be the logical path to go for a upgrade. My current system is a Epox EP-9NPA+ Ultra motherboard with 2 Gigs of ram and a Athlon 64+ 4200 x2 (Socket 939). I am trying to hold off on a motherboard and proc upgrade so I don't have SLI right now. I was thinking about going with one of the new ATI cards but some friends have suggested going with a 7950 gt. I am trying to keep inside the 350$ US price range as well. Thanks for the help in advance.
 
wait till Dx10 crap is all over the place and rebuild your machine :D
at this point its kinda pointless upgrading if you are on budget
 
I think it is pointless to upgrade 7800GTX for 7950GT... Because you will not notice any difference afterwards; since they both run at almost the same speed... (I think...)

I will go with Mafi0So's thought, wait for DirectX 10 system to at least mature a little, then do upgrades... :cool:
 
I would wait till new cards come out or prices drop. You should wait for the 8800's to hit your price range or for the new ATI cards.
