my 9800XT is able to run any game I play.. not at 1600X1200 with AA and AAF and BLa BLa... but for now its enough..
it lasted a little over 2 years... and I wont feal my mony is going to waste when I buy the new Dx10 card when it comes out.

I'll have to disagree. Obviously, if you have a 7900GTX, ditching it for a 7950GX2 is throwing six hundred bucks away, but if you've got a 2+ years old card, then I don't see why would it be stupid to get a 7950 if you can afford it.
I mean, this is computer hardware, and it's gonna keep evolving. You could wait until DX10 is out, but then new techologies will be announced. If you buy a graphics card now, chances are it's gonna be out of date just as quickly as if you buy it in 3 months.
That said, I'd wish I could afford a 7950GX2. :/
