Seeing as theres a new thread here on video cards, i was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I want to upgrade my video card but im not sure which one..my choices are AGP 6600GT 256mb, 6800GT or an X800XL. Im currently running a 9800pro on an AMD64 3200+ & Abit AV8 Mobo. I'll probably be upgrading to a PCI mobo by the end of next year so is it worth shelling out for either a new 6800GT or X800XL AGP card or just going with the 6600GT or just keeping what i have now?

Definitly wait, If your patient enough to play your games on medium res and medium settings, then you definitly should wait.
Microsoft should be releasing Vista in a year, which also means that DirectX10(renamed WGF(Windows Graphics Foundation), renamed back to DirectX10) is coming out next year. When graphics cards support Hardware-based DX10, thats when I'll be moving.
Playing DX9 games with DX8 cards is either impossible, they run slow, or your on a degraded graphics mode. (i.e. Geforce 4s(non-mx, the mx is DX7) are DX8 hardware)
