upgrade video card now or later?

it shoudl be enough till Q2 2009. if you want more power get a better psu : and buy a second 8800GT OC for only 85$ in salesmarcthpro

can i see an improvement there even at just playing at 1440x900 reso?

yes but it mostly ur cpu that will make a differance as i far know. you could switch mobo & cpu for only 200$ that could kill ur system and keep ur current ram : of corsair like P45 + E8400 or P35 + E8400 that would Twice The FPS you want to see why?
because resolution consume more then 1280x1024 while technicaly as less pixel then 1280x1024

Black = 1440x900 (still in produciton but useless)
Red = 1680x1050 = 199$ monitor 22 inch
Blue 1920x1200 24 inch : 299$+
more number in fps = mean better
here let see a game such as world on conflict at all max + AA
STronger is the Video card more it Weaker Compare to each cpu


CPU & VIdeo card are Essential after 2-3 year. it just that Core 2 duo revelead to kill amd most of the time
but the phenoon black edition 9950 is near them but still core 2 duo offer better overlcocking : By :February there rumour Of Core 2 duo killer The Shangai I think they call ? From AMD. it will be shrink & better ghz and optimized for overclocking with stepping
a first for amd i got no preview benchmark to approve my myth about the newest amd core release

i currently have and am2+ mobo, planning in getting phenomx4, but maybe i'll wait till next year, hehehe

that up to you. letting you know new cpu is releasing form amd but it won't fi ton am2+ mobo i think or at last not full power
it shrink version and it shall competiton even further qhere 4x 9950 black edition failed to compete against E8400 Overclocked to 3.6ghz +
marcthpro

hmmm.. upgrading the processor is very expensive especially when you're also changing the mobo..

oh well, i think my pc is enough, for now

save for a 4870 like me. might order another this week. hmmm....

if not ur 8800gt should do you fine till next year :P

mabe the relese of a new ati card :D?

Those cpu comparison graphs are more than just a little misleading. They make it seem like a bigger difference than it is by using odd graphs, also they are using cpu intensive benchmarks.
