    Re: Cheapest way to upgrade

    I buy the best system i can and build it myself ever 2 years

    usually 1500$au+-200$ for a power house

    just choose a point at which things arent new or old(best bang for buck!)

    like right now is good for duo and dx10 IMO

      but dx10 is already obsolet.

      Had I have been able to see into the future I would have bought a DX9 video card and upgrade to a DX10.1 card when they come out and price drops occure...

      I feel like I wasted my money on this GTX.

        DX10.1 is a set of added restrictions and IIRC the 8800 cards don't have anything incompatible with it.

            Anything out now isn't going to cut it for next-gen games (as in next-gen, not "next-gen" games that just came out, Crysis aside).
