The future vs. the 8800GT

How many of you believe that the 8800GT (SLI or not) will hold well into the future of gaming?

Just looking for a general consensus for curiosity's purpose

i dont think we will have anything more taxing than crysis for a few years yet Goldmatter

hell even the new crysis has been optimized for lower systems

I have the default ASUS 8800GT @ 512MB core clock 600, shader clock 1500, and memory clock 900 is this any good?f-a-d-3

Probably the worst video card ever. I'd be surprised if you could push 20fps in minesweeper :P

Ell Oh Ell.

...Seriously, the 8800 GT should be fine.

You are running SLI and really Crysis is the only game that rapes PCs. Look for AlanWake, FarCry and Project Offset to give it another push, but other than Crysis, nothing could bring that PC to its knees.9mmSpliff

lol *note to self: install aftermarket cooler*

I'm guessing for another year or two. Considering you can run a very needy Crysis with 8800GT. And I dont expect games in the future to be demanding like Crysis for another 2-3 years.

Crysis is just a poorly optimized game and is a bad example to cite. I see games in the not to distant future that will look as good or better then Crysis and not demand SLI 9800GTX to get 35fps.
