Default 8800 GTX or not?

I've got news for you. Soon this year manufacturers will begin releasing DX
10 based video games that will severely test even that high end 8800 GTX
card. Doom 3 is old technology (DX 9). And, 24" wide-view LCD's use 1900 x
1200 resolution. You are thinking in terms of old technology.

Hi,
I've been thinking about upgrading my video card...
The top card today is the 8800GTX (Money is not an issue), I looked at
how it preforms on http://www.tomshardware.com/ and even at 2560x1600,
4x AA, 4x AF, Doom 3 the results are 60fps!!!
it's working very well... too well...

BUT, who uses this resolution??? and LCD monitors don't even support
that high resolutions...
at 1024x768, 4x AA, 4x AF, Doom 3 the results are 210fps

So why sould anyone buy this card? no one needs 210 fps! you'r brain
can't consive more than 30 fps...

Thanks
Gil
