i have to disagree. i've got a 1900xt and i've heard that argument for that as well. now i can play most everything i have at 1280x1024 at a very nice constant 60fps, but my performance really drops if i start adding 4xfsaa with some games. with more graphics horsepower, it's not an issue. besides, with stuff like crysis coming out, you probably need every bit of graphics power that you can get just to run a game smooth without turning everything down while at 1280.
