Should I wait until Unreal 2 for an upgrade...?

[Ohgr]

Ok I have a GF2MX at the moment and its served me well so far. Thing is I wan't to upgrade sometime this year, but should I get a GF3Ti200 of wait a while until Unreal 2 comes out and get a GF4 then ? basicly I need to know if the GF3Ti200 will run unreal 2 at max...I'm thinking not.

imho...

use what you got till it dont work (wont handle the game). cause for the same ammount of money, 6 months down the line gets you a better deal (or same card that costs less if it'll work).

i'm running a v5 5500 w/o overclocking it, and it's handleing whatever i toss at it to my satisfaction.

I don't think it'll run it max. But it will definately run it fine. I think I'd wait though if the MX isn't THAT bad.

personally i think that saying a gf2/3 good quality card will not run the new UT2/Doom3 games properly, i think that is BS. Right now the games out CANNOT and DO no push teh cards to there near limits. i mean when some peeps can get over 100FPS, in a full out firefigtht then the card is not being pushed.

I feel its just a new ply to get us to buy new cards. how are then goona go from a games that was get 100+ fps on to a game that we CANNOT get 30 fps on..jumps in software are not made that fast.

Hell i play cs at only 60 fps and never notice a beat. UT ans Quake are over 150fps a seconds at 1024 res. So Doom3 and unreal 2 will not be that nard on my card in that opinion.
