Is a 60 mb s cf card fast enough?

I just ordered a nikon d3s and already have a 60 mb s cf card, but i was wondering if it is fast enough to get my maximum burst rate(9fps). Should i upgrade to 90 mb s?

The camera body you have has a buffer… Meaning that the images in rapid fire are stored on board then transferred to the card right after. So you can get a quick burst… Then may have to wait a second for the next burst. Although you will get all the images from the burt… It is the transfer to the card after that will take a moment. But 60Mb/s should do just fine I would think Unless you are a pro sport's photographer that is.
