You should, if you have a high end rig. Â Because it means less games will take advantage of the hardware. Â The fact DX11 cards have been out this long and so few games acutally use higher levles of geometry is baffling to me.Â

I have a high end rig but I know many people that still game on old DX10 hardware. Core2Duo's/Quads and GTX260's. The problem comes with the vast gap in power between the 360 and PS3 compared to whats currently avaliable on PC. Just look back at when the 360 came out, the 360 had the grunt to play some of the latest games at the time on par with the PC. It will be the same come Christmas of this year but in a year or so the PC will be advancing again. When I read over the word "GTX 260" something came up in my mind. It's an old card, right? I owned it before the 670 and it plays Crysis really well at High at 720p with AA at 2x (if I remember correctly), and yet PS3 and Xbox 360 struggles to run the game with Vaseline smeared all over the screen.
Bloody hell. Isn't it amazing? This is why I often chuckle when consolites still believe that console gaming is cheaper when you can play current generation games with an old card and that there's little difference between consoles and PC. I know that the GTX 260 came out at the time of Crysis, but still, I was playing on High settings with some at Medium. If I turned it down to Low, it would run at 60fps and this is where consoles struggle to run! If you just sit down and think about it, it's mindblowing how consoles are little wallet-looting buggers.
Now, that's the beauty of PC gaming. :)
You are amazed by a card that outperforms a console that came out 3 years after the console? Â LOL i would say you are easily amazed. Â
