I am trying to make a decision before this weekend, either I am going to get a 6800 GT by Saturday or I am going to wait until next year and do a full upgrade, nForce4 SLI, Athlon FX or 3800+, DDR2, NV45 and all.
I currently run a 5950 on a Barton 2800+ and it is showing its tooth especially the single digit framerates in 3DMark05.
If I shall buy a 6800 GT this weekend, I am essentially locked between two cards.
eVGA 6800 GT $419

Gainward V680GTD6046 $429

The Gainward is the standard GT instead of the Golden Sample series, the clerk told me they had some stability issues with the Golden Sample and two of their customers returned the products.
I intend to overclock them to Ultra levels, 400/1100, does anyone have recommendations?
I would like to get the BFG 6800GT OC except I can't find it anywhere in stock in a brick and mortar store.
Or perhaps I might just as well wait until next year and toss out everything with a full upgrade?
Please help me. I have been waiting and thinking when to upgrade for months now.
