I'm thinking about upgrading my system's video card sometime in the next 2-3 months. My only regret with my current build, which I put together about a year and a half ago, is that my video card is not Shader Model 3.0. I decided that I'd wait for the DX10 cards to upgrade. What I'm wondering:
Is the extra $150 for the 8800GTX over the GTS worth it? If not, any ideas on how long it might be before the GTX drops down to its current price level?
Secondly, does this upgrade even make any sense? If I were to make such an extreme upgrade, I'm guessing my processor or RAM would be a major bottleneck and really hinder the new gpu. Am I wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer.
