I have a 5,1 with a 5770 video card. My next planned upgrade is a video card, mostly for FCPX editing, although I want it to be an all-around machine. I am wondering what people's thoughts are on whether the identity of the nMP video cards should have a bearing on what I put in my old MP.

For example, I wonder whether a 7950 or 7970 will have really impressive drivers compared to what they used to have, since they are basically in the nMP. Will support for cards like the 680 drop off a cliff?

I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in this.
