Thinking about upgrading, help?

Hey guys, thought I'd bow to the tech guru's and get an opinion.

Some of the newer games like black ops and dragon-age have been giving my card a beating and I've been thinking about upgrading.
I saw an article in the Austin paper about a company called Cutting Edge Gamer that leases high end cards.

I was thinking about leasing the 580 GTX from them and using their upgrade thing later, it says I can just upgrade after a while to a newer card in the same price range. I think it's only about 50 bucks a month so I think I could swing that. Any one have any thoughts about if this would help my games run a little better?


Thanks

Well, that is some news to me about leasing computer hardware. I believe that its not a smart choice, just like leasing a car. You may need to read all of the "fine print" before making a decision like that.

I would go with since you like NVidia, go with EVGA, they come with lifetime warranties. Plus, today's gpus can take a beating for a while.
