I didn't say the GTX295 was trumped yet. And I paid under $130 for my card.

And I didn't need to upgrade my case, PSU, DVD drive, etc. Hell, you can buy one case and be set for a decade these days lol. I just did the mobo (Gigabyte board with Sata6.0, USB3.0, the works), CPU (Athlon II X4 635), GPU, RAM (4gb DDR3 @ 1066), and HDD (WD 1tb).

As for Crysis at 1080p, I suppose the framerate could've been under 30. My eyes aren't exactly the best judge of such things.

Yeah, thats a cool price for that card. I'd put 2 of those in a crossfire stup and then we're talking :)

However, with that setup, would you say that the performance you are getting in games blows away the stuff consoles do? I was absent from PC gaming for a long time but when I decided to come back to it in late 2008 I went from HD4850 to GTS250 to GTX260 to finally GTX295 (cause of 3D vision)

I found that with the first 2 cards, I always had to make compromises with visuals which put the games I was playing visually to console levels.

The whole point of this debate is the fact that a user posted that his 400 dollar PC blows away the consoles and that hed rather play Fable 3 on PC...from personal experience I found that it really isn't the case. To blow away the consoles you need a 300 + dollar video card, which needs a 100 dollar power supply and a 100 dollar case to get proper cooling, you need a decent quad core CPU, the Ram needs to be low latency/high frequency...

Don't get me wrong, the PC arms race is fun, and it does blow away the PS360 but it can't be cheated and done for cheap...not possible.
