OT: Deciding on a new graphics card

[Ragnarok-X]

Currently im running Stalker and CoD at 1280 * 1024 with max details, though no anti-aliasing at all. I dont really have the need for a better GFX since i dont even own Crysis (and i believe CoD 4 is already high-end) but who knows ?

Ragnarok-X:
That depends; do you feel your 7900GT is sluggish, or is its performance acceptable for the games you play? Pricing on the 8xxx cards can only go down as more 9xxx cards are rolled out. If you don't feel an immediate need to upgrade, there isn't usually any purpose in upgrading.

Right now is probably a very bad time to buy a graphics card. Within the next few weeks there'll be new drivers for ATI's 3870x2 (which could possibly take it all the way to the top; or confirm that the card really isn't all that great), we'll see the release of the 9xxx cards from Nvidia and we'll see the introduction of PhysX in Nvidia's cards via drivers. So many changes will greatly influence the market prices, although the performance difference between all these cards isn't too big since none of them are yet introducing new architechture.

Will be interesting to see the performance of Nvidia's X2, though.
