Haha, I've had the upgrade itch for a minute now. I just haven't seen anything worth-while of replacing my GTX 460 yet. I was going to snag a 6950 2gb but its tessellation performance held my hand from hitting the "continue" button on newegg.Originally Posted by largon
If there's one lesson I've learned in my decades of PC gaming, it's not to buy hardware that has an apparent hardware deficiency. Learned that one during OpenGL's hey-day when ATi barely supported it. Same reason I bought a 9800pro (although I did get a 5900 just to flash and toy with for a lil bit before selling it for a profit). If a card has an obvious performance flaw, I won't buy it in fear that a game I end up wanting exposes that weakness. When that happens, it usually loses to the other sides card in the price segment below it, and I end up rather annoyed.
Going off the news on both cards so far, neither camp should have an obvious flaw this time around. One of the big reasons I'm so excited this generation! Notice I haven't had anything but good to say about both camps upcoming products for the first time in years?
p.s. The cure for the upgrade itch is simple... Take care of a child.
