specs:
AMD X3 720 @ 3.2Ghz AM3 Processor
ASUS M4A78 PLUS motherboard
G SKILL 1066 PC8500 DDR2 (2x2GB)
eVGA 8800GTS 512 (G92) video card
SEAGATE 500GB SATA II hard drive
VIEWSONIC VX922 2ms@ 1280x1024 (@ max. resolution)
ANTEC TRUPOWER NEW 650
VISTA ULTIMATE
I want to play Call of Duty: MW2 in November. Should I get a ATI 4890 video card now, or wait for the new models coming soon, I hope. I know I can get $100 for the old card and a new one, here in Canada, is only $230cdn, including tax. Money is not a problem, I'm thinking more in the lines of being set for the next two years. The current video card plays everything fine at my current resolution, any higher, no go. So, wait for new lines from ATI or grab a 4890 for a sweet price, now. Powerful enough for the next 2 years? Oh, by the way the M.B. is set up for SLI, so I can add another card down the road if necessary.
Opinions please.
Thank you in advance,
Rusty
