yeah, i was thinking the poll may not be relevant anymore. i'm sure alot of peeps voted and now have upgraded and can't vote again.
i was just curious after reading the "oblivion" thread in software and wondering what kind of card would be needed to run it at decent res with some aa. and how many people actually have a card that will allow it.

GeForce 5200, it isn't so good with the newer games, but AOE3 or MOHAA play real good, so I'm satisfied.
Well, I have more than one but I voted for the highest I have. Altogether I have a 6800U. 9800Pro 256, 5900U and a 4600Ti. Soon I'll be upgrading to a dual 7800GTX SLI setup on my next build. Hopefully this month.

My current graphics card- BFG Geforce 7800GT(425/1050)
My soon-to-be graphics card-Radeon X1900XT(can't decide on brand, Asus looks good but they're out of stock at newegg, I'm looking at power color.)
My old graphics cards, oldest to newest- Some worthless mid-1990s 8mb Trident 3d Blade 9880 that wouldn't run anything at any resolution(I'm talking anything, even old games like Red Ace Squadron at 640*480 with low settings. It ran, but it was the ultimate definition of a slideshow.), then I got a Geforce 4 MX 440-SE in January of 2003 and thought OMG!!!!! I GOT TEH AWESOMEST VIDEO CARD EVER!!!!! A GEFORCE 4!!!!!! for $60!!!!!, but I later found out that it was the budget version and only had the power of a Geforce 256(the first Geforce) or a Geforce 2(don't know which, I'm talking the SE version, you know, SE means Slow Edition.), but it was still pretty huge upgrade from where I came from. I got games to run at 800*600 or 1024*768 with medium to low settings. I was satisfied until around october of 2004. Then I got the biggest update in my life. I got the AGP Nvidia Geforce 6800(the vanilla version) with 128mb, and it allowed me to play games at 1280*1024 with high settings, and I thought, This card is the ownage!!!!! And it was, but I was discontent because I could have gotten the 6800GT, so I kept eyeing the 6800GT. It stuttered on Far Cry at 1024*768 with 2xaa and 4xAF, but that was due to only having 512mb of ram, IMO. Then, I got the card I have today, the 7800GT. The biggest jump was from the 440-SE to the 6800, though, but I like my 7800GT. I'm still getting the X1900XT, though.
