Imagine the oil tanks in BF2 being able to be blown open an leaking fuel spreading and burning.

Imagine every block in a build being able to be destroyed.

Imagine getting a sprayed by earth as a mortar explodes just feet away.

This card can do it all and trust me the software Vendors are jumping on this QUICK.

Just seen that on AotS ten minutes ago.

Look forward to where this is going to go. Was thinking of upgrading next year, like JaN.

But if thats true, will wait till next fall.

I've heard about it, but none of the games I play support it.

For $200 (future price) it will add some gaming horsepower to your system, as it is now the price of Video Cards is getting crazy, this may help offload some of the performance needs of the CPU/Video Card. No matter what, nothing will change, our computers will always be underpowered for the newest games. What the hell are they using to develop these games, frigging computers recovered from alien spacecraft???
