Is this GPU upgrade worth while?

[Gregster6]

I am currently evaluating a graphics card upgrade to tide me over for a year when I plan to replace my X2 4800 based system.

Current card is 7800 GTX (256)

The card I'm looking at is X1950 XTX

Will this card deliver a noticable difference in frame rates / visual quality in games such as F.E.A.R., Oblivion (and anything cool that may crop-up in the meantime) over my current card.

I have a monitor with a 1600*1200 native resolution but have never been able to game satisfactorily at this setting.

BTW I would rather stick with a single card so SLI / Crossfire are out for now.

Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply T...unfortunately I'm (currently at least) no great overclocker!

That's great - thanks for the advice.

Just back to the original question for a moment...would this "overdrived" X1900 / X1950 actually give me a marked improvement over my 7800GTX?

Thanks

The views of anyone who has made a similar upgrade would be particularly useful...
