First, the 7600GT should be doing the HDR in HL2 just fine, it is over bright and as is most use of HDR out there. Developers tend to not have a clue how to use it right for the most, just recently has it been done with style.

As for the card, you can grab a X1950 Pro right now that should be very good, you can grab the 256MB cards for around $160 off of Newegg in PCIe form. The games you mentioned should all be able to run at max settings on this card.

April we'll see the 8600 series but I am doubtful they'll out perform the X1950 Pro by much and with the edition of DirectX 10 only useful if you have Vista.
