Hi all

It's my BD next month and was kinda thinking of a upgrade in GPU at some point.

Would one powerfull Kepler be worth it for two 6950s 2GB from what people might know or more so if Kepler turns out to be a stormer.

I game at 2560x1440 and run games fine at the mo so is it even worth a new GPU anyway.

What will Kepler bring if great better visuals, smooth game play.

Cheers

If games runs fine for you, is there any point in upgrading? Only upgrade if your performance starts to suffer, that money is better spent on future hardware.
 
As a rule of thumb I usually upgrade every 2nd generation. I just don't see the return on my money when upgrading otherwise.
I'm looking at upgrading because I'm running 5870s, If I had 69** or 580 I wouldn't bother.
 
How any Kepler based card would compare to a 6950 crossfire set-up, or a 7950 one for that matter, is just a matter of speculation at the moment. Most, if not all, of the information about them is FUD at best. That said, I doubt any of the low/mid range cards would compete with them. You'll probably have to go for a high-end single card or consider SLI, then you are just back to the whole is-Kepler-worth-it thing.

You don't mention your current set-up, but if it's working and you are happy playing games at 2560x1440, then it's not really a low end one and I wouldn't bother changing anything until the new cards have been released and the market has settled down.
