Just letting you know if you haven't got a new GPU yet we have:

• New 6870 *7% slower than 5870 due to reshuffle but more efficient especially at tessellation.
• New 6950/70 coming in November
• New 6990 (dual chip) coming in December
• Rumours of GF110 refresh for GF100 any time.

 

Do you suggest I wait for one of the new ones?

Absolutely.

P.S. ATI has a new AA technology, MLAA. You may have heard it talked about in such places as the Sony forum. Anyway it enables near free AA especially in games when you have no AA option.

So your best bets are:

1. Dual 6850 ($360) or 6870 ($480) which coincidentally uses as much power as a GTX 480.

2. Single Cayman 69xx ~$400 /- $50

3. GTX 580

In order they will likely release.
