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.?

FarCry is mostly CPU limited on a 9800 Pro unless you are running a lot of AA and AF. From the benchmarks that Valve released last Sept., I think a 9800 PRO will be fine for HL2. Since doom3 was built targeting the NV30 cards, I'm sure that it will run fine on 9800 PRO. Bottom Line is I don't think you're likely to see any game come out in the next 12 months that won't run well on the 9800 PRO. Plus you probably paid around $200-$225 for your 9800 PRO, you won't be able to beat that performance at that price for some time.
