Question: Why would a PC not last as long?  You can adjust graphics settings so in 5 years "Low" will look like what "High" or "Ultra" does now (Excluding the original Crysis as always).  For instance I can run Fallout 3 on my $380 7970 AND my $35 6450.  One just looks vastly superior and can run graphics mods.  Also FO3 looks better on the 6450 than it does on consoles lol.

Your 6450 won't run Crysis 3 or BF3 though so no clearly that didn't last a gen. I doubt your x1900 from 2006 can either.

Yes it does run it:

Can your PC run Google?  If so you could have found this as easily as me.

Have I finnaly proved my point?

Crysis 3 - average of $25 at 1024x768. Yeah....

What about your 2006 year old card? You said that a card can last 7 to 8 years, right?
