(And) officially the PC gaming is dead......

Never before a single card was about the strongest thing you can get for more than 2 years. While Moore's law was only for CPUs it seemed to be applied to anything electronic which belonged to the enthusiast market (LCDs, PC parts) and of course the GFXs were part of the trend. I bought my GTX November 2006 and I still feel no need to swap it. Whilst this is good for me -the consumer-, for now, it would be ultimately bad for PC gaming, it means that the race of graphics, physics and AI which was taking place on PC (never in consoles) which brought us from the Ultima 1 era to Half Life 2 and Crysis and advanced AI is nearing to its end, expect the following decades to be that of stability and Japanese gaming, the West -it seems- stopped innovating from the time it rode -too- in the console bandwagon.

How I can deduce that? GFX cards' makers were always moving along the pace of their software counterparts (game developers), since they all -now- have jumped on the 2005 PC of propriety software and hardware which is named either PS3 or X360, nVidia and ATI lost their appetite to innovate and in fact -both- stagnated. Since -only- Crysis can bring present hardware to its knees and every other game is based on a mediocre 2005-2006 PC (call me console) with their mediocre 7800s/x1800s -by this time- graphics powerhouses, you can expect innovation to stagnate. Since only the Japanese can make games like Okami, from now on expect innovative games for pre-teens or wherever Japanese devs have their fantasies stucked into (and some 16 yo's skirt I have to add. Forget Fallout's, Planescape's and Unreal Tournament's cynicism, from now one we all live in the flowerland where we'll fantasize of pre-teens whilst being the effeminate lead

All hail the new 9800 GTX!!!!
