I upgraded my graphics a couple weeks ago. Now I'm gaming on a 7870 Tahiti LE (also known as XT, mine specifically is a PowerColor 7870 EZ). So far I've been able to max the things I play at 1440, so that's nice.

So, at the end of the month or beginning of May I think I'll finally upgrade my video card, probably to the GTX 660 (btw any projected releases/price drops in a month's time?). I kinda want to stay below $200, so I'm choosing it over the...
