I am using the 8800 GTS320 OCed to 575 from stock 500.
It runs most games fine, however there is a number of games that it cannot push past 30FPS (minimum that is really playable) at 1920x1200 (the resolution on my monitor). Problem is, most cards that are out there today are not a significant upgrade to my card, especially seeing as it's OCed.
I want to play The Witcher, Oblivion, NWN2, STALKER, and some other graphically intensive games maxed out at my native resolution. From what it looks like, the only real solution that will serve me well for sometime into the future is a GX2 card, likely the 9800GX2 since the 3870GX2 isn't that much faster than the 8800GTX and has some cooky driver issues in some games.
I want to avoid Xfire and SLI because of all the driver issues, I would rather have the two cards in one solution.
So is a $600 card the only real solution for me, or are there some cards coming out that could do what I need that would set me back less than $600?
