A better upgrade would be to their new GTX 260 or GTX 280
Possibly. Hopefully the GTX 260 and 280 will suffer from a rather severe price drop until February. The difference between my GPU, 8800 GTS 640 MB and the GTX 260? Is it worth it? It seems to me that the hardware is far more advanced than the software which uses it nowadays. My two year old GPU handles Crysis, Far Cry 2, etc without any serious problems.
