Think about this...Geforce 7950GX2, which is the fastest single card, is available for Rs.75,000 at EPSI. My new card only cost me Rs.9,500 which is only about 4 times slower. Now, that 75,000 card will be superseded by even a Geforce 8600GT or at least come close to the performance. It should not cost more than US$200 (but no idea how much it will be in Sri Lanka). Say it will be Rs.35,000. If you buy that card in another year, you have got the same performance as the 75,000 card but only 1 year late. My new card (X800GTO flashed to X800XL and overclocked further) can play almost every game at max details at 1280x960. Say I'm getting 30fps in a game. 7950GX2 can't give more than 100. Ok, say it's giving 100fps. If you disregard the framerates, with both cards, you can play the game at max details without lagging. So why pay Rs.65,500 more for 70fps which is not noticeable for real world game play?Best thing is to get a video card which is in the mid-range, and upgrade it constantly (say, every 12, 15 or 18 months). You still can play almost all your games with lots of details, and you are spending less. Remember, also inflation will result in lower money spending in another year's time. 35000 today will have higher value than 35000 next year. So in the end, you are only spending half the price, and still getting a marvellous gaming experience.Oh I forgot. Remember, 7950GX2 is only DirectX9 card. 8600GT is a DirectX10 card. In Crysis, DX10 card will shine a lot more than the DX9 card. (Crysis is natively DX10).</blockquote>
