How much longer will R9800's at least have a chance at running games decently? How much longer until I have to replace my 3 month old R9800 for X800 or 6800? The most taxing thing I've ran on it was FarCry, which it handled well.
 
I wouldnt worry about it. 9800 will last a good year and a half if not more. I had one, pretty bullet proof card. Have you flashed to XT (or can you? limited to ram etc)
 
Glad to hear it will last me for a while. Haven't flashed it to XT yet... still afraid of frying it up. It has an R350 core, but handles the clock prerequisite with Zalman.
