if you play games, and are waiting for the dx9 games to come out, i say wait. if you need something now, buy something even cheaper to hold you off....look at me i have a damn 32mb ati 7200, and this plays all the games i have perfect...halo, nfsu, CS, all that crap...
What resolution are you playing at? Does "all the juice turned up" FSAA ans Aniso filtering all the way up?
I play at 1600X1200 (full screen on my LCD) and my Ti4600 can't keep up, especially FSAA (elimination of "jaggies"). I had to tune down FSAA for UT2003 to get decent FPS and Halo looks like crap (FPS sucks at 1600x1200 and lower res introduces lots of jaggies because Halo requires you to turn FSAA off).
