Am I really missing out if I go with this over the 6800gt?

Video card

I know it doesn't support the PS3.0 or whatever but will it hold me over a good 1 1/2 years or so?

Nope, that's a good card and should easily last 1.5 years if you're ok not always running everything maxed out.

DONT GET THE PRO. You are much better off getting the x800XL or x800 XT as the pro has 12 pipes and a clockspeed that isn't high enough to even that out. The 6800 GT is $250 in newegg with a mail in rebate.

Thanks I got the X800XL.

Yeah, the XL is a much better card than the Pro. More pipelines = .
