I'm assuming that since he's in the video forum, he was referring to the current gen of graphics cards. I think that there may never be enough supply for this gen. Soon, the newest gen cards from ATI and Nvidia will be announced. Who knows what impact that will have, and if those will be available either.

yes . . . when the new cores (r520/nV50?) are in shuupy this Summer, the current expensive cards will drop . . . . by Fall that 6800U/x800xt will be ~$250 . . . .and of course they will no longer be 'cutting-edge' as the newest game with HDR, SM3.0 and other advanced features become common.

if you are like me, you stay behind the cutting edge for relatively cheap. i bought a 9800xt nearly a year ago for $223 and it is still fine for ALL the latest games (max details at 10x7 or 11x8) . . . . it should be good 'till the 6800u falls in price (this Fall) when i will sell my 9800xt for ~$100 and get a 6800u for +$150 more . . . . and that 6800u will 'hold me' to the generation after r520 (when r520 will be cheap). 😉

Remember, unless you NEED high resolutions (for your LCD) or LIKE lots of AA/AF you NEVER need the current videocard to play the very LATEST games. Games are always 1-1/2 to 3 years behind the latest HW.
