Sure, but the developments in the console world dictate the worth (and longevity) of your hardware.

What's good in having a super duper HD 9990 dual card if there's no software (games) to use even 1/10th of its power (since everything is a console port these days)?

Or -in reverse- what's good in buying the latest card only to find shortly thereafter that all games require twice that power only because the latest consoles happen to have a card more powerful than yours (therefore everybody develops with *that* in mind)?

Like I said, it's sad, but the console world IS part of our lives (no matter how much most of us -here- wouldn't want to have anything to do with it).
