I've been thinking about picking up a GTX 580 or waiting for any next gen grahpics cards to come out. I'm saying this because Asus is releasing the Mars II and the previous Mars was quickly replaced by the 400 series by nVidia a couple months later. Any idea when we'll be see the GTX 600 series or 7000 series?

I can't tell you when the new AMD/Nvidia cards will be out, but I can tell you that the GTX 400/500 and AMD 5800/6800/6900 series cards should be able to run BF3 just fine.

I subscribe to this notion as well. However, since I have an HD 4800 series card, I too am hoping for some new GPUs around the time of BF3's debut. If I'm going to get a new card I might as well get the newest edition.

My GTX 260 is starting to show its age which is why I am on the fence about this. I don't want to plunker down on a 500 series and see something come out that is better. I was just mentioning this because when Asus releases the MARS cards, that means the life cycle is coming to a close. But it isn't like there is Directx 12 so I am curious about what the 600/7000 series would be. Perhaps a Tick Tock Tock cycle for Directx 11.

I think we're at least a good 6 months off from a new series of cards from Nvidia. Maybe AMD will come out with something sooner, but I doubt it.

Ill wait up on the new cards too, worse comes worse waiting always gets you lower prices. Frankly I only upgrade when my performance starts to suffer dearly from an old gen card, like skipping two gens to see the gratification of waiting.
