Like Lasereth is saying, yall have to remember that the games will still run fine on an older card. I am running FarCry on my radeon 8500, and it runs just fine. I have to turn the details all the way down, but I get 50-60 FPS on it, so it isnt an issue. And the rest of the computer isnt very beefy, either: P4 2.4, 512 megs of PC2100. Doom3 Alpha ran OK on it (just under 30 FPS, once the game is optimized somewhat, Im sure it will do better), and I am sure HL2 will run on it. The cards will run everything just fine for quite a while, its just a question of what kind of graphics you want. Up until FarCry, there wasnt a game that I played that I couldnt crank the graphics up to a reasonable level and get some decent framerates out of.
