Wait two or three years and buy a new video card. We don't know how high the requirements will be when the truly next-gen games come out, and, just like the people that bought a 7800GT back in 2006 can't play any game now even on low(and that's since 2010), you won't be able to play any new game in a few years on low settings.


I think back in 2005-6 things were different. PS360 were powerhouses, GPU and CPU wise, top of the line GPUs were at best within the same performance, and CPUs(specially 360s) were at head of its time. Add the 8+ years lifespam when past consoles where usually 5 to years and that's the reason why a 7800 GT cant play Crysis 3 on medium to high on 720p(I'm pretty sure it will run it at low no problem)

But with PS4 and Xbone things are different, they have low-mid end GPUs, and low end CPUs, sure the lifespam will be great, but current high end GPUs and CPUs blow them out by a good margin. Add tech inside the next gen machines its pretty similar to PCs, so I think current GPUs will hold up well against next gen games.
