I can't make up my mind. Upgrade to a 7900GT or wait for full upgrade.

Nvidia 6800GT

Currently playing - Oblivion & Call of Duty

It's come to my attention from playing Oblivion that my setup is a bit out-dated. I get O.K frame-rates, ranging around 35 but sometimes drop to 10 or 5!
Im now stuck at should i upgrade just my video card to a 7900GT or equivalent or should i just wait and build a completely new computer.

AM2, Vista, HTPC compliant parts, etc...

So what do you guys think?

if you can wait until xmas (hopefully), then wait. if you're desperate, then look at a 1900xt.

i'm going to ride out my 7800gtx for a while.

Im looking for a <$350 price range. The x1900xt is like $400+.
I have a few hundred dollars to burn at the moment but its either getting the card, or putting it towards a new motorcycle.

In that pricerange the X1800XT is prolly your best bet

Get the motorcycle, go out for a ride and enjoy yourself! Wait til the card prices drop drastically in a few months, in the meantime step away from the PC and get some fresh air on your cycle!

If you decide to wait, know that you're not alone.
