Well, you could wait for the Fermi but only God knows when it is coming out. Yeah, I hear all you booing and saying that it is coming this December but I don’t think nV will be able to achieve this deadline considering that the sample showed in their expo was a fake one and they’re struggling with a lot of other problems. They only recently have launched a DX10.1 card and seems like they’re having troubles implementing DX11 support too. So, keeping all this in mind, I’d suggest getting the HD5850 right away and Enjoy the highly immersive graphics experience now.
