I play BF1942 at 1024x768 with quincunx just fine, the gameplay never slows down. Yeah you wanna play tomb raider get a 9800Pro, you wanna play 1600x1200 with all the AA glory (at that res AA is not THAT much better anyway), get a 9800Pro. So in market terms we are talking what 2-4% (dont know just guessing) of people worldwide that will have these kind of power cards. So all the rest of us can continue playing the games, which most of us play, and last time I checked they mostly are dx8.1 downwards anyway, on our so called "outdated, rubbish, obsolete" cards

Hell, if most people are really honest, they would admit that they just buy these cards because they are addicted to the newest and best (been there, done that), even if the actual software they were meant to be played with is not even out yet or consists of yet another part in a series that really is getting old (even though the main character has got some big boobs) Actually this applies to most other components as well.
