Wow! They will come out cheaper than 7600GT's launch price. Cool.... Should start saving money for one of these babies.

oh man graphic cards are such a scam. Every couple of months a new one has to be bought in order to keep up with the graphics. I used to be into graphic cards
not any more anymore. I mean you buy a card and the graphics can be maxed out then a new game comes out which cant be maxed out.

Then you have to buy two 8800GTXs and use them in SLI.
The problem with video cards and games is that they have to deliver goodies in realtime. If you had to encode video from HDTV at 1080p resolution, you will see that your CPU is not good enough either. But the user community for such a task is very less compared to PC Games.
