Right, I can't keep up with the latest gear with Graphics cards.. so I need YOUR help!

I have a 8800GTS 640mb and play on a Dell 2007WFP at 1680 x 1050.

I want to play Call of duty 4 and Crysis on high settings.

COD4 demo - full everything - ran smoothly - looked great.

Crysis demo - latest drivers made this run at 20fps and looked good after some tweaking.

So, if I was to replace my graphics card - Would I see a performance increase if I bought a 8800GT? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-041-EA&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1008

I don't want to spend over £270 (including money made on selling my current card).

What's all this news of a NEW 8800GTS? :confused: :confused: Help appreciated. If not, I will just wait till the 9900 comes out?

Its not deferring at all, its asking for a better opinion with a more currently up to date knowledge on graphic cards and their performance.

Evidently I must still be up to date with performance and ask again when I will receive replies like "OMG your still in the stone age, wow nearly as old as AGP" - then upgrade.

Is there any talk of a replacement to the 8800 series yet? eta?
 
I went from a GTS 640 to GT & also have the same monitor as you, I think its very much worth it. Noticble improvment in general frame rate & I find the GT quieter.

Thats what I wanted to hear. But I think I might hold off till a graphics card can handle Crysis in Vista in DirectX10(.1) and all eye candy before buying Crysis.
