Valve HQ upgrades computers; puts everyone elses to shame.

200€ cards are in the perfomance level, not mainstream. You're talking from a XS user perspective and that's just wrong.

no im talking from a gamers perspective... i dont know anybody playing games with a sub 200 card... maybe casual gamers, but not people who really game a lot as their hobby.

but i guess my perspective is skewed...

I'm on an 8800GTS due to power issues at the moment but I didnt pay $200 for it when I bought it.. darn buying things new lol.

I think Stargazer needs to change perspectives.

You need some perspective my friend. I have no payed over 200 dollars for a videocard in years.

Futhermore, I am gonna get a GTX260 55nm 216SP for 199, which is just under 200 dollars. For a SUB 200 dollar card it is rediculously powerful, as is the 4870 1GB. The 200+ dollar cards that are out right now are for those who have nothing else to spend their money on. If you can not get a satisfactory gaming experience from a GTX260 or 4870 1GB, there is something seriously wrong with you. And if you are one of those fold who games at 2500x1600, you dont even belong in this conversation.
