Is there a card right now that I can purchase that will play Starcraft 2 at MAX?

Well, is there?

Right now, I have a 7600 GT PCI (rest is in my sig)

Now im doubting this card will pound out the max settings for Starcraft 2 when it comes out, but seeing as they have already released screens, im guessing that something like the 8800 GTS will?

I am very interested in the 8800 GTS, but will it stand the test of time for Starcraft 2

Even if no one knows, thanks for any help

oh, and how about the 8600 GTS compared to the 8800 GTS?

Would either handle SC2 at full settings?

If the 8800 will but the 8600 not so sure, ill definteily go with the 8800, but just want to definitely know :-D

Hasn't been released yet, ya know

Minimum are listed here. I think a 8600gts would be able to play it high, the 8800gts would definitely.

will the 8800 320 MB version stand it tho? thats the one im pondering

Currently the 640Mb Version and they 320Mb version are identical in all games regardless of rez. Whether or not this will hold true in the future is unknown, Regardless, I think it will work great with SC2.
