Not soon.

It would be too expensive and will bring very little benefit. Perhaps a year or more from now. Xmas 02 would be a good guess.

texture compression really cut down on the amount of RAM a card needs to perform while using a single triple-buffered frame buffer, even at 1600x1200x32. 4x FSAA still requires lots of RAM, though, but not many people run that high res with FSAA cuz the fillrate isn't there.

Sooner then most people expect, I can guarantee you that with a certainty. ;)
