to be honest i think the hardest think about the new architecture is the predicative load balancing that needs to be done on the GPU, I think that with a bit of time and more cards in the wild, and in test groups that the drivers can easily be tweaked to provide better load balancing on a per game basis. I am guessing here though.

@saaya, I personally think that 1920x1200 is the perfect res to game at, on a 24" screen, tho sometimes i do feel like even 24" is a little large since i tend to subscribe to the "nose up against the screen" CS style of play school.

I think that this thread has devolved into nvidia vs ATI, which is all I've read on any forum lately and I'm getting a little tired of it, I personally don't lean towards either camp but I also will not write off the gtx480 as quickly as some people on this board will, I will give it a fair amount of chance, for all we know this new architecture might be the future, look at where the pathetic 2900xt ended up
