Well, I have a certain problem with any PC upgrade - the PSU. If I buy a more powerfull video card (like the 9800, or even HD4850) I'll need a better PSU (my current one is only 400watt) and that would leave me with my current 3500+ CPU, which would bottleneck the video. And part of the problem is that waiting doesn't help a lot - in my country hardware prices just don't drop after a certain point, sellers seem to prefer to dump older hardware than to sell in cheaply (ugh... strange mentality, but I can't do anything about it). So either way, if I want an upgrade, it'll cost a lot.
The HD4670 w/512mb of DDR3 memory seemed good to me, because its a decently powerfull card that doesn't require a high-wattage PSU. I'm just afraid it won't be able to deliver decent framerates with at least 2xAA enabled.
I'd appreciate if anyone who has the card (or similar) can make a quick test how it performs. I'd really appreciate it!
