Whos thinking of sticking with what theyve got and bypassing the "next gen" cards??

[jarvis82]

1680 x 1050 here - my GTX260 is only a few months old, and is quite sufficient at the moment. Perhaps I'll upgrade next year, when my whole system will be due for a refit.

 

[Exsurgo]

Im still sticking with my 8800GTX's for now. Brought the first a few months after they came out and the second another year down the line and they never give me any trouble in games at the resolution I play at (1650).

Will consider upgrading to a 5870X2 or the next generation Nvidia cards when they come out, for now the price/performance upgrade benefits still don't seem right.

I am on 1360 x768 and my 320 needs to be replaced so i get a 5770 and that do me for a while

 

[UltimateBadger]

Yeah I'm sticking with my 4870 1GB for the time being. It plays most modern games at high - v. high settings ok even at 1920x1200.

 

[Labyrinth]

Im also sticking with my 4870 not to mention royal mail will be paying out for smashing up my 4850 so the value of that will cover another 4870

 

[Richy1204]

im going to stick with my 4890 atm then if need more power i can just buy another one then have them runing in crossfire

 

[dpbadger]

I'v just ordered a 5870 an upgrade from my bfg 8800 gtx oc as i have had it a few years. This card should last me another few.

Won't upgrade probably for long time, gtx295 will do me fine

 

[mithrandir]

I'm gonna stick with what I have for the time being, can't afford to buy the next gen cards although I will keep an eye out for any bargains on the 4850/70 & gts250/gtx260 generation of cards.

Theres only 2 games that will make me update my 4850 and even then it will only be if i cant maintain a steady 40-50fps....

Battlefield 3

Half Life 2 Episode 3

Anything else will just be console ports for the next 2 -3 years until a new gen of DX11 based consoles launch, and my 4850 is MORE than capable of handling ANY game based on 360/PS3 specs.....

Sad really.....but such is Pc gaming nowdays.....

Being able to play console ports at higher resolutions, isnt what i call progress...

 

[C64]

I am seeing as there's no good new games coming that need more than my 4850 for 1680-1050.

I cant believe anyones upgraded from a 4870 / gtx 260.

 

[fini]

My 6600GT still runs every game at a decent FPS and my chosen resolution (192*120), so I think I'll stick with it for another year

 

[MikeHunt79]

8800gt is fine for me

 

[derkaderka]

Iam sticking with my gtx280 OC2 (650Mhz)
I can play most games I like with acceptable Fps @ 1920 x 1200

 

[afraser2k]

8800 GTS 320 Mb here and I'll be sticking to that card until I can check on the length of the new stuff since it's already looking tight in my current case (Coolermaster Centurion 5).

*stokes his X1950XTX - still plays QW:ET* When they produce some better titles then maybe (DIII for example) but console seems better for this at the moment..

 

[QwaF]

I'm just putting together a new computer, so it would be silly for me not to go for the best and newest at the moment. Two 5850's on order!

 

[Shakeel]

nah im going for the 5870 but im might wait until january

I cant see diablo 3 not being maxable on that card either

 

[ajgoodfellow]

I used to keep up to date with the latest graphics cards but as I only game at 1280x1024 I haven't thought it's worth it lately

I play a lot less games than I used to and most games still render fast enough for me at that resolution (even later buys like Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead)

I'm still using my FX62 (bought over three years ago) and HD 2900XT (bought over two years ago)!
