When you put it that way, gamers don't need the HD 6000 series, nor half the current GTX 400 series at this point in time.

Maybe the extra horsepower will come in handly when the Gen 2 DX11 games start getting released in H1 2011 but until then? Any additional performance is nothing more than window dressing which looks good in charts and not much else.

On the flip side of the coin, depending on the performance of these new cards, ATI could have the ability to put the screws to NVIDIA at the $175 - $250 price point.
