Actually, you should wait for the video card until november. The second generation of Fermi is coming out then (First generation is in March). Since the first generation is always crap, waiting is advised. nVidia has Cuda and DX11, so that's a benefit. Additionally, if you play Dolphin on your PC, it'll crash on any ATI card after 15 minutes because there is a huge memory leak.

2nd generation? How so? What exactly are they going to do to the chip when TSMC hasn't even got the 28nm process ready yet? I don't think another respin counts as a new generation, nor can you say derivatives are a new generation either.

Read it on nVidia site.  They haven't announced what is in the second generation.  My guess is a better implementation of DX11's tessellation unit, hull shader, domain shader, and the stream out efficiency.
