Worth upgrading?

System as in sig, I am getting itchy feet and wondering if I should upgrade my GFX card and if so what to and how long will it last me? Is there anything new coming out soon that will drive current prices down etc?

Many thanks.
 
I have a similar set up rig, with the GTX8800 o/c2 and im gonna keep it.

Ok, so it doesnt run the latest games at the max settings, but it still holds its own.

Also, I dont have spare cash to through at it.

Maybe you do, budget?
 
Budget isn't an issue but I am not one for wasting money on something I won't see a benefit from/isn't worth the cash.

I paid £380 or something close for my current card 2 years ago or a similar figure so around the same about for a card that will last the same period would be ideal.
 
As in the OCUK forums the brand new card from ATi is coming in about two months, I would hold off for reviews of the new 5000 series card expected to debut September 10th.
