Forgive my ignorance here... but for what reason does one need more and more powerful video cards? Is there a way to use the card to render things to disk, instead of the screen? If not... then I just don't see the point of having a card that does 1000fps at 1600x1200, when your monitor only refreshes at 100fps, and your eyes refresh arguably much much lower. Not putting this down, just curious as to *why*.

Aside: I'm very very happy with my GeForce 2 GTS (Asus v7700).
