well since a 6800 can max out HL2 or CSS at 1024x768 with 4x AA, and my card will do Lost Coast at that, you don't want to buy a 7800GTX to play HL2 or CSS, what you may want it for is other less brilliantly coded engines like maybe the new UT or Quake 4.

i agree to a point with you, but who plays at 1024x768 4AA unless you really have too>? i play at 1280*1240 full AA+AF because my card is capable off doing it even hl2 can get taxing on the new systems with AA+AF which i no alot of guys run. and the UT3 engine badly coded
every game studio wants to use beacuse it's well coded and designed.

I never game at above 1024x768, and while it's not going to be the fastest thing, when i get my new x850XT PE, i probably still wont. It makes everything too small.
The UT3 engine does sound badly optimised from the quoted minimum system requirements, the quality of the screenshots released so far doesn't in my mind justify such high specs (It doesn't look THAT much better than Lost Coast or FEAR). I was just pointing to source as an example of how things should be done (except for the 6 year wait part).
