Any new Video cards coming out in the next 2-3 months?

Been out of the game for a while now, and was finally looking to upgrade my video card. It seems like most of the cards on the market now have been out for quite a while. Are there anything new coming out this summer that is worth waiting a few months for?

Just doesn't seem worth it to buy a card that has been out for 8-12 months for almost the same price it was when it was released.
 
Nvidia is supposed to introduce their G70 within the month from what I've most recently read, and I think ATI's R520 may be delayed a bit (although I could be wrong on that).

I agree with you, my current advice to most anyone looking to spend $400+ on a high-end card is to wait until the new stuff is out. We don't know anything concrete about performance yet, but it's probably a safe bet that it will be quite a bit faster than the current high end.

Oh, and welcome to the forums. 🙂
 
Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

Was thinking of spending $300 or so on a 6800GT, but was thinking waiting might be better. If in 2 months I can spend $400 and get something 50% better I'm more than willing to do that. My need is far from critical.

 
well in that case wait...u would get something by october for $300 which is alot better than the 6800GT. the GT may be close to $200 by then!

Only wait if you really don't need it now at all. If you want a card now, get one now, waiting is pointless. There will always be something new right around the corner. That's like the golden rule.

exactly..

If you can wait, wait.. If you have a subpar card now, and want to get some good gaming action and x800xl or 6800GT will get it done for you.. In ANY GAME.
