UPDATE: So I've opted not to settle for a new but cheaper graphics card and decided to settle with my few performance issues until I can save up for a really good upgrade. I've decided against AMD cards because I'm a bit annoyed by their lack of Physx support and so many games I play have that as a factor. I'm going to save up until I can afford that's truly worthy as a successor. So as a GTX295 user which new nvidia card out now will be the best upgrade that will blow my mind and will be good enough for a intel i7 920 to handle? $300-$500 price range.
So I think it's finally about time I upgrade my GTX295 as I've been having nothing but hiccups and performance issues with it lately. While it was originally a beastly card the best upgrade for me right now would probably be to buy a super expensive card that'll last me five years but I don't have $500+ to dish out right. In fact I'm looking to get a $200 card today and if anything upgrade again in about two years or so. So I've been thinking about the Radeon R9 270x for $200. In fact I think of doing an instore pick up of the XFX Radeo R9 270X from Best Buy to be exact. Also maybe considering throwing down an extra $50 for a GTX 760. So is this upgrade worth it or should I shop for something else?
Thanks for any input in advance.
