I currently have a BFG 280GTX OCX is it worth me upgrading to the BFG 295GTX. Or is the gains small, and just wait for the next big cards. BTW when is the next high end nvidia cards coming out any talk of them yet?
 
Next gen cards are expected around Q3/Q4 2009 so you have got a minimum of about 4/5 months for them.

Upgrading depends on a few of things I guess:
1. Are you unhappy with your current FPS in games?
2. What resolution do you game at?
3. Can you afford it?

The 295 is undoubtedly a good card however, not many people think it is value for money. Are you absolutely sticking with team green? The 4870X2 should also be considered...

1.Yes im very happy i can play any game i own at max settings no slowdown.
2. My res 1920x1200
3. I can afford it

If i only got to wait that short amount of time ill just wait then:)
 
My bfg 280gtx ocx is a very good card and i really think i could make it last for a long time. The only game thats coming out that will test it is Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, but i think it should be ok.

Anyway looking at my sig do you think my 3dmark06 score is about right or is it too low??
 
Without knowing if you have overclocked it (GPU/CPU) or what OS you are using, I can't say for sure. However, just doing a basic search on the 3dMark results browser I would say yes, it looks a decent score.
