I think LOE advice applies to most people those, I am not most people.

I am trying to get more points for the hwbot team I belong to. Nothing close to world records, by trying to get hwcanucks to 2nd place again. This was also part of LOE advice, as I hardly game, so I am hardly doing it for gaming purposes in which LOE advice applies.

From how calamity is trying to point it, it seems that there is shame not upgrading from the previous high end. This is foolish those because the previous high end provided more than adequate performance and for the most part except crysis or people with 2500*1600 monitors(which are few and far between), the increase in visual quality is nothing, or even non existent for people who have 4870x2 or gtx295s. Why spend 400 dollar and go through the trouble of getting a new card when no new games are out that take advantage of directx 11. And by the time the games come out, faster cards will be out(5870x2 or gtx3xx) and prices on the cards available now will be lower.
