Personally I never buy top of the range graphics cards, I buy the upper mid-range cards which have about 15% less performance for around half the price. My 9600GT still plays all recent games quite happily on mid-high settings.

People who buy these ridiculously priced top of the range cards are just getting ripped off, but you know what they say about fools and their money....

Exactly, you're playing on mid-high range settings. If you shell out the money, you can play on ultra-high settings for all new games for at least 2 years.

I used to buy mid-range hardware in order to save some money... but I realized that I only just end up spending more money since the hardware I buy doesn't keep up with the new software coming out. I'd spend like $150 on a graphics card... and then a year later, I'm buying a new one. It just isn't worth it.
