Well,

The card is fine. But I just installed Win 7 64bits and now BFBC2 runs in DX10 (or so I assume). Graphics at HIGH and I get 50-65 FPS steady, so it's playable and without jerkiness. In XP, the card was faster 75-80FPS at MAX. Now, with Win7 and a new card I could benefit from DX11 (I never bothered to get Vista/DX10 at the time), so it's a 2 generations Direct X I'm trying to make. I have a buyer for my GTX260, that a good point.

But yes, as my Samsung T220 (22") monitor is 1680 X 1080, and I have no plans to get a bigger screen, I'm on the line here...I could wait a few weeks for FERMI to come down in price and to "reveal" itself fully by letting early adopters report on it's real advantages/lack of.

I just think that the next Graphics card I get will probably be my last one for this actual build (see sig). After that, I won't put any cash on computer parts for around two years (lol sounds like New year's day resolution). I'll go with a 2 X 6pins PCI-E GFX card, as I won't upgrade my PSU for this...

BUT, my P5Q PRO is "crossfire" capable, maybe the logical upgrade path would be to get a HD5870 and grab another one + a 4 X 6pins PCI-E capable 750-800W PSU later down the road???

C'mon FERMI show up and IMPRESS me.
