Is this a worthwhile upgrade?

I game at 1680 x 1050.


Roughly how much percentage increase can I expect from today's games?

I'm currently gaming at 1920x1200 with my X1950XT. Luckily, I only play older games and LotRO. I want to upgrade to an 8800GT badly, but I'm forcing myself to wait until prices for the 512s normalize down closer to $200 from where they are now. I'm confident you will see a noticeable increase in performance if you upgrade.

For older games you won't see a lot of change.

For newer, huge difference.

I did X1900XT to 8800 GTX...the above summed up that upgrade for me at the time

I am considering this as well. I have a 1950XT from sapphire and I want to get a new GPU. I really do not know which way to go.... Anyone? Not hijacking here..
