right now, i have the BFG 8800GT OC(512 MB GDDR3, 625core, 900mem). I want to know, if i should just get another 8800gt, or upgrade to a gts 250 or gtx 260? can get another 8800GT for 80$ or sell mine for 120... what should i do, in terms of gaming?

why dont u just wait, that card should handle most games on high settings unless ur playing at a very high resolution. That extra $ may be the diff b/w the gtx 360 and 380 ( if its called that )

I dont think they will call it the gtx 360 (sounds a bit xboxish), i reckon they will use gtx 365 instead, and yeh sli now, w8 for dx11 cards

I don't know how you plan on selling it for $120 nobody in their right mind would pay that. But hey if you found some sucker willing to pay that, might as well sell it and pick up a gts 250 or 4850 since they only cost $120.

I don't see any current game that needs more than a 8800gt and I'd wait for a dx11 card before upgrading. doing sli now will not be cheap or easy as you will need to find another identical 8800gt.

Shouldn't most recent cards support DX11 when it comes out?
