Questions on Graphics Cards

Hey all,

Looking to buy a new GPU soon, and I'm not sure what I should get. I currently have a 7950 GT OC, and I wanna get an 8 series for some of these upcoming games (Crysis, UT3, CoD4). I'm a college student so I don't have the resources to buy a $500+ card. I was looking at a 320MB 8800 GTS for around $290, which is where I want the price to stay. Is there a better way to go than that card or should I be looking elsewhere or waiting for a price drop? Any suggestions would be awesome.

Well I am using dual 7950gt ko's, I will trade those for a 8800(something) eventually, =)

They work fine for now. so I am waiting.

I have a few friends who have the 8800gts and it works just fine. and its not that much either.

I also have a 7950GT, and have thought about upgrading. But then i think, whats the point? The 7950GT still plays games at high settings with good frame rates. Personally i would rather keep my money for now, see how the 7950GT runs things like Crysis, and then maybe upgrade sometime next year.

Hopefully we will have some new cards out next year, which may bring down the cost of current GPUs

I agree with you 100%, I was just thinking the same thing.
