I'm currently waiting it out with my single 7800gt, until some good DX10 games are out and i can use my XNA studio along with torque on vista with out an issue. Plus by waiting a few more months that card wont be totally outdone in the new games.
just my 2Â¢

cuz right now i can get a x1950xt for 60bucks off..... but i could use the money i was gunna use to buy the x1950xt towards gettin say a X2900xtx
is it worth it to invest 200usd in a dx9 card right now?? thats my biggest problem(ahhhhhh the im so torn!! 60bucks off for HIS x1950xt .... or will i be kicking myself for wasting the money when im stuck with my x1950xt thinkin i could have a x2900xt or xtx right now

very tempting i see.....especially with what you have now. If it were me, I'd wait, but only as long as I were sure I could afford the new card later. It's only a couple more months.

I'd stick with what you have now, until you can buy what you ultimately want. I ran the X1600 pro until I built my new machine. While not being overly fantastic, with shader model 3.0 it was able to play most of the new games on ok settings.

but then ppl will say oh wait another few months for the price to drop then the next gens will be around the corner and it will be replaced....and i could sell m x1600pros right now and get the x1950xt for basically 100usd

Sounds like you've already made up your mind.

Go with your gut instinct.
