Video card recommendations

Hey everyone,

I only plan to game at 1680x1050 resolutions. I would like to have graphics maxed out or damn close and would like to keep fps around ~50. I am currently using a 8800gts 320mb. Now the big question is, is it time to upgrade? and if so which card considering that resolution?

Thanks

g92 sli and rv770 cf are nice rigs too, if you have the motherboard to support it (not your ip35e).

Thanks for the reply. Currently I have an option of selling my 8800gts 320mb for $125. I can always take that money and reinvest and get a 4850 and possibly wait for the next gens to come out. Good idea?
 
Another option is $250 for 9800gx2. For that price though I figured I just wait and get the 4870 512 mb when prices drop to around that range. Thoughts?
