Worth updating graphics card?

[NaturalViolence]

Even an overclocked 2600XT is nowhere near the speed of a 9800gt. Even a 2900XT is easily beaten by an 8800gt/9800gt.

No but it will in dolphin, which is what we're talking about. And you should really really really really do a lot more research about dolphin before you assume too much.

Sigh...let's just close the thread. The OP got his answer and it looks like this is going to turn into a childish flame-fest soon.

The GTX 460 1gb will do 1080p with 3x efb scale on most games. Check out this thread to get a slight hint of what you're getting. There are benchmark of the GTX 460 768MB and 1GB version.
