yeah, the 8 series is your way to go. especially if your thinking of the 512mb 7950gt becuase you can get one of the 8800gts 384mb (i think thats it) for roughly the same price or a lil more and you get the dx10 support. I just got a 7950 2 months ago and then they release that 8800gts for about 30 bucks more than i spent on this card, definently wish i would have waited but i wanted my computer working again and got sick of waiting.
