Your motherboard wouldn't handle a 2 step upgrade... take one generation upgrade to a HD 5770 then after a year go to a 6950 its the only way to save the rest of your setup. I had a friend that had a 8800GT and jumped to a GTX 460... poor guy didn't know what hit him he's lucky that he escaped with just his eye brows missing.
Oh comon people hez just excited about his new upgrade and wanted to let us all know. Too bad he wasnt a bit more creative in doing that so be easy on him.:P
lol sorry op unforunately the 4650 is more powerful than the 6950, go ahead and return it, actually ship it to me, i will sadly take it off of ur hands and dispose of it for you.
Also, what's the biggest single part upgrade you guys have ever gotten?
I'd have to say this is mine. Although going from a radeon 7500 to a 9700pro was pretty big for me, so was going from a duron 1.2 to a athlon xp 3000+ (barton)
Biggest for me is a whole new computer. Pentium M 2ghz to i7 950 3.06ghz, 80gb SATA 1.5gbs to 1tb SATA 6gbs, 64mb VRAM card to 1 gig, and 1gb DDR to 6gb DDR3.
Congrats on the new card! I got my Saphire 6950 the week afterit came out. Flashed it with the 6970 BIOS and OC to 900/1400 and haven't had any problems. Upgraded from a GTX 260 and it was a HUGE improvement. Awesome card!

Thanks man. What PSU you got? I bought a 600W OCZ modxstream before they were having all their quality problems. Hopefully I won't have any issues when I start to tax this baby a little more than normal. However the rest of the system is not really using a lot of power, so I should be good.
My biggest upgrade was going from a laptop with dual GTX 260Ms and a Q9000M @ 2.0 GHZ to AMD Phenom II x4 965 and dual GTX 460s. Or it could be when I made the jump from consoles to PC.
My biggest upgrade was going from a Geforce 2 to an 8800GTX.

That sounds pretty awesome.
I remember when I played TF Classic with an integrated ati chip for almost two years @ 640x480 software rendering until I switched over to a Geforce 2 which allowed me to bump it up to 800x600 + opengl aa. CS original went from unplayable to awesomeness.
