Hi all! I'm using the system as indicated in my sig. I got some newegg gift cards for a late holiday gift. I'm heavily considering getting a new video card. At the same time, the current gen of cards have been out for a while. When asked in the comments during the live CES Nvidia blog where the 780 was, Ryan Smith with AT said, "You're about 4 months too early, I'm afraid. Check back in the Spring." It is certainly tough to wait. At the same time, I am hoping to upgrade my whole system soon after Intel's next desktop chips are released.
What do you think? Upgrade now and take that vid card to my next system? Or wait it out and perhaps get a new monitor soon?
With the vid cards, I'm mostly looking at a GTX 670 or 7970. It's a bit tough to decide as they seem to trade blows. I play FPS like TF2, just got Metro 2033, would like to get Far Cry 3, etc. I also like Starcraft 2, Darksiders 2, and Batman Arkham City. The latter 2 of those have some bad slow downs with my GTX 260.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
