I can't believe what I am reading in this post!! Sorry but I have to LOL really hard on you guys.
Since when a card at 150-200 price point is been able to play newer games on highest settings?
Let's learn some recent Nvidia history right? (Ati had similar cards as you all know.)
May 2003 - 5900 Ultra released - Price: 450+ if I remember well.
April 2004 - 6800 Ultra released - Price: 500+ - Perfromance 2x 5950 Ultra
Nov 2004 (18 months later than 5900) - 6600GT realeased - Price: 200+ - Performance: Slightly above 5950 Ultra, can play Doom 3 on highest at 1024x768 4x AA (the card itself is marketed as this)
June 2005 - 7800GTX released -Price: 500+ - Performance: 1,6x 6800 Ultra
March 2006 (23 months later than 6800) - 7600GT released - Price: 200+ - Performance: Same as 6800 Ultra
November 2006 - 8800GTX released - Price: 600+ - Performance: Above 2x 7800GTX
October 2007 (11 Months later) - 8800GT 512 released - Price 250 - Performance - 0,8x-0,9x 8800GTX
Novenber 2007 - 8800GT 256 released - Price 150-200 - Performance: Unknown, 0,7x-0,9x 8800GTX reallistically expected. Still the card should have 1024 MB, run at 800Mhz, play Crysis on Very High at 1920x1200 16xAA 16XAF and still come out at a 50 price point. Otherwise this card is shit. Period.
Come back to earth guys! Your mom is missing you...
See you!
