Not really. Retail sales are dropping, but that's because steam and DD are so popular now. PC gaming is actually on the rise.

PC gaming will be fine as long as FPS's and quality RTS's keep coming out. Plus, WoW can basically keep it afloat by itself.

$460 for a graphics card? Sheesh.

Shouldn't have to replace that video card for 5 years though.

[SmootsDaddy89]

Exactly. Especially when you factor in overclocking, there shouldn't be any games it can't handle for years to come.

[SmootsDaddy89]

Although, the next version of Windows will probably have a new version of DirectX, and need a new card that's compatible with it. But even that's not gonna happen for another three years or so.

[mmmbeans]

yea but you'll probably upgrade it anyway.

[SmootsDaddy89]

When the new DirectX version comes out? Yeah probably. Within a few months anyway.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

yay moar filters!

[SmootsDaddy89]

lol well DX10 WAS pretty useless, (Remember when Crysis was supposed to have all those DX10 features, but as it turned out, they just turned off the ultra high settings in XP. It was all DX9 hahaha) but I do think that the tessellation in DX11 is pretty exciting, once developers actually start utilizing it.

In 3 years when you upgrade your card again!

lol so this thing overclocks to 850MHZ easily. On air. My temps even when gaming don't go past 90 C.
