I can see a gamer buying a new graphics card with each game
purchased.
My experience has been that mid range graphics cards are
usually going to be adequate for about half the processor
lifespan. My P4 platform got one midlife graphics upgrade
about 3 years in and wasn't retired (as a game machine) until
2006. I figure I'll run what I have now until 2010 and then
look at an upgrade.
No reason to do that at this time, though. In 2006 what I
put in was VERY high end, I really haven't run the cost
analysis.
It's a fact that gaming hardware depriciates faster than a
Zimbabwe dollar, though.
