I agree, I would like to see some games in which gaming above 1024x768 with having to put settings lower (Oblivion for example) is not too beneficial (save for having to game at native resolutions perhaps) and to see how games perform when going higher than 1024 to see different levels of AA.

This has been my feeling for a long time ever since "next-gen" became over used by devs for some time now. It's over-used to show off how AI and graphics are "next-gen".

Pretty inevitable when they came about for EA, so no surprise here. Move along now.

Crysis is still coded every bit in Dx9 at this moment, so it will do just fine for those of us that don't want to spend ridiculous amounts for one game when it comes along.

Dx10 and Vista do not warrant my attention for a long while until after a few revisions and so on for Vista and video cards altogether. So that could be over a year (maybe slightly less time) when Dx10 becomes fully used and Dx10 cards start to use less power which is taking a backseat already. So that leaves my eye on a Radeon X1900XT 256MB since 512MB does not make too much of a difference for my intentions.

Now that is interesting and I do hope they just offer to the public and tell EA to kiss their asses in the end to stay around much longer. :)

Great preview on the X1950XTX, although I can't wait to see what's in store for the lower model cards for preview/review when they arrive. :)

Unfortunately, fate decided otherwise that I had to replace a burned out Athlon XP, so I got myself a Sempron 3400+ after price cuts which works better regardless. If I had it any other way, it would have been an Athlon 64 X2 set of upgrades. :) For right now, AMD gets my vote until the C2D hype dies down a little and prices get lowered.

I'll take another alternative that won't be rushed and buggy...

I have to try believing many will have the common sense not to bring about Hilary as president this time.. A tax on games, don't they get taxed enough as it is?

I might pick up one of these later, however the price is just a little much when the PCI-E version is much cheaper.. I guess that's their way of saying it's time to move to PCI-E much like the 7800 GS..

This is exactly what I am thinking... Hell, I haven't even bought the game yet.. Give us some patches, then give us a damn expansion..
