Other than the Big C, how many titles can't be maxed out with an 8800GTX or even an OC'ed 3870(albeit, without AA)? We need to see some seriously stressful titles before we see what this new architecture is truly capable of. I am, however, noting just how small the hit of going from DX9 high to DX10 very high in crysis is, and that shows a very bright future for these cards.
Thank you DilTech, this is what I've been thinking myself. Current titles just don't leverage the new architecture. Your point on the x1900xt is a good one. I remember playing Oblivion at launch then going to a x1900xt and it was a huge difference in that game, which was arguably the most advanced and shader intensive game at the time, even though many of hte other games at the time didn't show the same gains.

Lets bring on Clear Sky, Alan Wake and Far Cry 2 and then they will see you were right
