New video card adapter?

I'm looking for a new video card adapter. I currently have a XFX PVT71PUDD3. I'm looking for the next upgrade from there. Any help you guys could offer would be appreciated.|||You are where a lot of people want to be in a graphics card. There isn't much "up" you can go unless you hit the nVidia 8800 series cards. The reason for the 8800 is that anything less won't be much of a step up. All of them are PCIe cards. Your limiting factor will be your budget (you can spend over $700) and if your power supply has the connectors to power the card. Some use dual molex, some use one or two PCIe power connectors, and the newer ones use the new type of power connector that is totally different.|||According to Yahoo search, the XFX PVT71PUDD3 seems to be a GeForce 7900GS. Which is a pretty decent DirectX9 card.



My suggestion is either the 8800GT, which has a very good price to performance ratio or perhaps the Radeon HD 3870 and/or HD 3850. Both video cards are quite new (The Radeon cards are supposedly coming in about two weeks.) and will be sold out due to their very nice performance to price ratio.



Also, the motherboard you mentioned is pretty recent. This means any video card that you buy that runs on the PCI-E slot will work on that motherboard.
