Here's a brainiac thought, how about you keep your cards, wait for them to optimize the game so it runs as good as the demo and then assess if you need a new video card? Ya that makes a lot of sense huh? Instead of forking out hundreds of dollars(like the rich boy who wrote the article), keep what you have, wait a few weeks or so until a patch or two comes out and then get a new video card, "if necessary". The demo worked great on my X800 XL and i notice since release performance has gone down quite significantly. I don't know what they did to mess up the retail game but I'm gonna assume it's gonna get better. Lots are complaining the demo ran better.
