hi all, pc is as sig :p
just watched the crysis tech demo and wow it looks good!
anyway theres a lot of high graphics fps out in the next few months and also some hot looking strategy games and I wana play them 1440x900 maxed out.

My question is what shall I do gfx wise. Will the new radeons be much better than 8800? are 8900s out at all? what do I need to do psu wise (its the sonata2 450w dual rail). Should I hold on and see if my x1800xt copes ok.
As far as i am aware my pc is capable for these games but i think the gfx card is gonna hold me back a bit when trying those top settings.

my x1800xt is 256mb if that makes any difference

Im off to USA in june, should I get a new gfx card whilst there?? but whats the chance of it being faulty cos RMA will be a ****? thanks
any help much apreciated :D
