As some of you know, the PCIe boards are coming out within this month *crosses fingers* and ATI just announced they are coming out with 3 new cards that are PCIe compatible. The X800, nice, the X600, and the X300.
But if you read their
review
, it says that they are coming out within this week? Well, it says that the PCIe boards are coming out later this month, so they are coming out with cards that can't be used until later this month? Anyways, how much of a performence increase (FPS) would there be? I really don't want to wait another month to get a card that won't be much better. I forgot my question awhile back, and maybe this post will make sense to someone, thx!
SO I guess I want to know is, will it be worth it to wait for the new PCIe card and boards? I know AGP will die out, but for now, the X800 XT seems to rule all cards, will that change, after the PCIe (In matter of FPS)
And for people who want to know a little more go

The initital cards won't be much faster than their AGP 8x counter-parts. However as time progresses the clock speeds of the future cards will increase beyond what AGP can handle and that is when PCIe will see a big difference.
My system:
Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64
