upgrade path from a GeforceFX5900?

[ewilson248]

After seeing the published benchmarks with my current card in many reviews along side all the new ones coming out it looks like I need more raw horsepower heading into DX9 / HL2 / D3

I have a GeForceFX5900 which I flashed and overclocked to a 5950 Ultra running at 475/950. it's not bad really, my 3dmark is 6000..

I need to cap my budget at $200 ;(

My target purchase date is 4th quarter '04.

I am partial to Nvidia but not totally commited.

I will have to stick to AGP for now
I will not be going to the express lane until xmas '05.

Why bother upgrading... it's not really worth it.

If your limit is $200, you're not going to be able to buy anything better than a 5950, unless you want to get a few more FPS from a 9800 Pro.

No point in upgrading, just save up for the next big cards (After x800 and 6800)

if u save up...later on ur gonna get a bigger bang for ur buck so to speak.
if u save now.. maybe u can afford to upgrade more stuff later on?
