Upgrade my GeForce 7950 GT OC 512 MB

I am debating whether to upgrade my video card. Here are the specs on it

It is a pretty good card and when comparing it to other cards it seems to almost match up to some of the high end newer cards. My logic tells me to keep it, but the geek inside tells me to buy a new one.

I had that card for a while and it ran pretty good.But it can't touch my 8800 .

that card is alright but i would consider upgrading.
listen to your inner geek.

 

[just a noob]

go overboard and buy a 9800 gx2? lol, but i think you could get an nvidia 8800 gts with a g92 core, or a 9800 gtx which is supposed to be like the gts
EDIT: meant 8800 gts not 9800 gts

The HD3870 would kill the 7950GT

If your getting frame problems, upgrade it. If you're like to get frame problems soon, upgrade. It all depends on the games you're playing, and the setting you're comfortable playing at. In the extra time you keep the card, prices could lower, maybe even develop more variety in the hardware sense. But then again, none of that may happen, so go with the side o' you ya trust most.
