The question is; do I buy an ATI 4870 now and another graphics card next year, or do I spend quite a bit of money on a high-end GTX when I can afford it, and do I buy another 2 Gig of DDR2 RAM now or do I buy DDR3 when that gets more affordable.
Sheesh, my most prized possession is a Gibson Les Paul, and even that came cheaper than my PC, even though it'll still be top of the line 50 years from now. My PC is only 2 years old, I shouldn't have to look for replacement parts already.
I could play WoW, Guild Wars, Drakensang etc. at top settings without any issues ever coming up, without any framerate loss. I can understand that PC games, as they get better 3D animations, engines, textures, etc.. require more from your machine, and I fully support the right for high-end PC users to get the most out of their graphics... but shadow detail and anti-aliasing are not things I will rate a game by. They aren't important for me, so allow me to turn them off and still run the game without having to upgrade along with the graphic nuts.
Yes yes, I still play Warcraft II and Thief :p
