Would someone please look at my GPU specs and tell me exactly how outclassed it is these days?

I just want an idea of how far behind I am in the current world of video cards. I bought this card just over 2 years ago I think. A rough generalization will do. Thanks!

Specs:

* R580 90nm process
* 48 Pixel Shader Processors
* Vertex and Pixel Shader 3.0
* 10bit Native Display Quality
* Dynamic Flow Control
* 128-bit FP32 Processing
* 1024 instruction slots Shaders
* 128-way Ultra-threaded dispatch processor
* 512-bit Ring Bus
* High Dymanic Range rendering
* All stage Trilinear (16X) Anisotropic Filtering
* Full (HQ) Anisotropic Filtering
* 12X Temporal Max. MSAA
* 6X Adaptive AA
* Parallax Occlusion Mapping
* 12-tap error-free Dynamic Soft Shadows
* RMX/RMC
* H.264 Accelerated
* Dual DL-DVI + VIVO

RV770 is on 55nm.

RV770 has 800 stream processors
shader 4.0 now?
crossfireX
DX10.1

just a few that I could list off the top of my head.
 
Ok, so just about a month or 2 ago I had a X1950Pro 512MB and I recently upgraded to an HD4850. I can tell you this it is a lot faster, and with AA enabled it hardly even drops any frames. With your current card you're probably running things on medium-high with no AA. Now, with the HD4850 you can run everything maxed out including AA. I'd say upgrade if you have the money to. I would think that right now is a really good time to buy it. However, its possible that the HD4870x2 may drop the price of current cards.
 
Its time to replace that X1900, I had one myself a while back. 😛

That X800 is just sad though, are you on that much of a budget that you can grab a 4850?

Can I expect to be able to power an HD4850 on the same PSU as what my x1900xt is connected to? New cards are still using PCI-e 16x these days, right?
