Cartz said:Oh man, I just ordered one 7900 GTX (XXX Extreme Edition from XFX) today, and I can feel the burn in my wallet. I think that 4 is overkill, especially with the directx 10 and shader model 4 on the distant horizon...
The trick to surviving moores law without facing bankruptcy (at least for me is) I escrow about 50-75 bucks a paycheque into an account, and as soon as I find a game that won't run at max detail at my monitors native res, I empty the escrow account and go to near top of the line, or top of the line (depending on if the top of the line is resonable like the 7900, or out of the park, like the 7800GTX 512)
I take whatever is leftover, invest in my RRSP (canadian version of 401k) and then start all over again. Not only do I almost always max out my RRSP contributions on my upgrade year (tax writeoff ++) but I always have a sweet gaming rig.
Of course, your mileage may vary. High end gamers like us (i.e. budget minded) need to pick our battles, for me at least, Quad SLI is not a battle I care to fight.
Edit: Oh and on Friendly Fire servers, you can frag your teammates, generally it's frowned upon, much like in real life.
