I often wonder why people spend an absolute fortune buying the lates video cards when the simple fact is that the card will not be used to its utmost capability for several years
Some people want to have the biggest and best. Why do you think video card technology has advanced the way it has? Also, the word development comes to mind.
Another problem with video cards is that the performance is becoming optimal anyway. There are 768000 pixels on a screen (a 1024x768 screen that is). At 50fps this is approximatelt 37million pixels per second. So it is intuitively obvious to all that a video card with a performance in excess of 37million polygons per second will not provide any better performance under those conditions. Why pay extra for something you can't see?
Last i checked, there was a difference between a pixel and a polygon.
