yea...it's true that 75fps and 65fps doesn't make a difference
but it's about minimum framerates....wouldn't it be good to not dip under 50fps or rarely dipping under 50fps?
I see your point moon but to each his own.. Ive been gaming so long that it doesn't bother me if I get an occasional slowdown in the action (hell it usually helps me aim) jaggies usually dont bother me *much* either, and I really dont use HDR (as it doesnt do enough currently (from my HL2, and FAr Cry experience) to make me feel thats its worth a performance hit).
I went ahead and got another 7800GT CO in anticipation of the new elderscrolls game and hitman bloodmoney. If it wasnt for elderscrolls I probably would have just kept one 7800GT card to play warcrack on.
I don't doubt that many ppl will go and burn some cash on the 7900GTs and thats fine, but I just feel its not worth the extra cash that can be used to get girls drunk.
One more thing i find interesting. I remember about 6 years ago (maybe a few more) that some games would tell me streight up that they will not work with "so and so" videocard and exit. Whens the last time you couldn't *run* a game with your video card? and had to upgrade to just play a game ( I think it was a game in the wing commander series (with speech pack!)? Now people moan becasue they can't run games with all the eye candy on .. hah
man im old.
/sob
//goes to dig around for wing commander II
Edit:
/found it!!
Man sierra made some great games back in the day, back when people making the games loved what they did and put heart and soul into their creations .....
