Hey I'm looking to upgrade my current card but I'm torn on what to do. I want to get a card that will be awesome for gaming and something I won't have to upgrade for awhile. I was looking at the 7900gt ko by evga. But then I noticed that there are cards w/ 48 pixel pipelines out now. I then read that there are new ati cards w/ gddr4 on board coming out. Should I wait for the 48 pixel pipeline cards to come down in price or get the evga one right now? Are there any other cards that would be recommended?
