I just got a 9800 Pro and even that is having a tough time with FarCry so I don't know how its going to handle HL2, etc. But I do have an Xbox (price know $150) which will have HL2, Doom 3 and even a FarCry games released for it the near (?) future. I don't know.......maybe I am just bitter and angry that I have had my new card for about two weeks and its now third generation technology.
P.S. Would you upgrade your computer (your entire rig: new processor, RAM, GPU) just to play a game? Even if it is HL2, Doom 3, etc.?

Well, the first thing to keep in mind is that the graphics on the console versions are far different from the PC versions. Ever tried playing Grand Theft Auto on a PC and then a PS2?
As for upgrading my computer, I haven't upgraded once since I built it in August 2001, and I've been able to play almost all games that have come out up until now on my GeForce 2 MX. Sure, some had to have lower graphics settings than others, but that's ok.
Doom3 is the perfect excuse for me to upgrade, and when I do so I'll get the second best graphics card and the best or second best of everything else I need to upgrade (i.e. mobo), and I'll use that for the next 3 or 4 years probably. Nothing wrong with upgrading, you just gotta do it intelligently.
