ill keep this short and to the point:D

my system:

CPU: Core i7 920 @ default clock speeds
Motherboard: EVGA X58 SLI LE
Ram: 6 GB @ 7-7-7-18
GPU: 9600 GT x 2 in SLI
HDD: Seagate 1.5 TB


Would it be worth it to upgrade to a 5850 (or GTX 480)? are there any new cards coming out soon? I am noticing that i obviously cant run games at full graphics anymore, i game at 1900x1200. Thanks in advance for the help guys

I think everything is pretty much set for the next few months. An HD 5850 would compliment your system nicely.

Well the 5850 and 480 are not in the same price range at all and keep in mind that GTX4xx card are probably going to sell over MSRP for a while. I would definitely get the 5850 over the 470 though(and since you can actually buy the radeon now it's not a hard choice at all).
