They are always pushing the upgrade treadmill. I'm sure that the 4850s I purchased (two pairs!), will be obsolete within six months, at the going rate.Originally posted by: roid450
They need to chill the fuck out and let a product stand for a yr or more and just be like the old days how we could go on the same card for 1-2 yrs without having new models every 4 months. The way it's been going, your hardware becomes obsolete or an "older gen" whithin a few months :Q :Q![]()

When did we have a GPU that stood the test of time for 2 years? The upgrade cycle has been about 12-18 months since the first Voodoo showed up in 1996. With a refresh cycle at about 6 months past initial release.Originally posted by: roid450
