Won't get DX11 drivers on a DX10 or 10.1 card...it's hardware limited, not software.

With your current mobo, it's pretty much either or. You're going to lose resale value on your card once Evergreen launches, but the prices on other used stuff will drop as well.

That being said, if you can muster $125 out of your card and save up another $200, then the new ATI will be a whole lot of card for very little money, relatively.

I'm thinking once the DX11 cards come out the DX 10 and 10.1 cards will loose value. I'd say wait, I think they come out real soon.
