BTW, ATI is releasing the next gen by the Christmas, so....

Another thing. As long as those crappy consoles are still around, we will keep seeing the ports to the PC, ports that don't require more than a 4850 or a GTX260 to be played at full quality, with some exceptions off-course.

Anyways, I was kinda thinking, what game on PC is so good that it requires to buy a new video card right now??? Absolutely NONE.

Indeed, most of the new games can still be played on the cockroach GPU 8800GT at mid-high settings...
