i am assuming ubi is not telling the truth again and whatever they claim you need is only half of what you will really will need. so when they said you "need" a 8800gt with 512mb video ram to run the game well on medium high settings, i assume that means that card will be the bare minimum you need to run the game at its lowest settings.
in your case you dont have the money to buy another card if this one doesnt run the game so i would say dont buy anything untill you know for sure. let others tell you if their cards run the game and then you will know what to buy.
you dont have money to waste and if you buy a card only to find sh5 runs like crap on it then your stuck with it. waiting is your best option to be sure you buy what you need to run the game.

To be fair though, it's the devs that gave us the specs, not the suits. It's true that the minimum specs given for a game ussually yield a painfull experience, but if Dan&Co says you should get decent performance on a 8800GT, I trust them on that.
I've got a 8800GTS 512, and I'm not worried in the least. It runs the latest games perfectly fine, and it's just 1 "step" above a 8800/9800GT.
But yes, best to wait and see. Maybe I'm completely wrong and you're completely right.
