To buy or not to buy...

[myth]

I cant wait no longer... let me explain!

I have been jobless for quite some time, I now worked my first week at a new job (second shift) Before I had a job I spent all my time on my PC gaming, so I obviously wanted a new GPU! But now I find my self at work most of the time and I realy dont have any time to get on my pc! However I now have more money and I am trying to justify buying a new graphics card! Heres my problem... I run all my games at 1600 by 1200! So I realy need a new GPU, however I dont get much time to play them any more, so my question is do YOU think it would be worth it for me to buy a new graphics card... I could get the GT like the rest of you but I'm afraid it will be too slow... I could get the XT but I find it to be lacking new features... I could get a Ultra but is it wouth the extra $100 its going to cost me? Or I could just save my money to get a apartment... Either way I will be spending another $100 on the 550 Pro tunner... so what do yous think I should do...

Seriously guys, help me out! I just cant decide...

GT like the rest of us?this 12 pipe x800 pro flies thru games.

no thanks to GT or jet engined noise ultra unless you got watercooled.

if you're sensible keep the money, if you're not get the ultra...... might aswell get the best you can and make it last if you're gonna get the GPU

[myth]

If I would get the GT it would be the BFg for $399.95 In stock here...

If I can justify spending the extra cash I could get this BFG Ultra... Not in stock but that doesnt bother me...

Or this XT for $476.45! In stock here...

Or this XT PE for $499.99 here...

thats an opinion.others would argue the XT is.

I'm just worried that if I buy now I'll have to get a new one in 6 months... dam lcd native ress!

i think u should save a bit longer..wait for SLI to be come available. 2 Ultras or even GTs in SLI mode will surely fly at 1600x1200

for 2D I wouldnt upgrade the gfx.hmm mate there must be something wrong with something on your comp.
BFV ran sweet on my 2nd rig with 2500+,9800 SE AIW(it softmods thoguh,does yours as big speed difference with 8 instead of 4 pipes),
and 1gb twinmos ch-5

I get 14 - 40 fps on BFV... I need like 60.. but all the settings are maxed..
