If people are going to go down this road then why don't they all use 512Kb Video cards? I mean you don't need all those colours either! The point of having something over 30fps is it's supposed to be very smooth (as well as being able to deal with more load without choking like huge rooms etc) and allows you to run games with higher detail settings rather than just scraping by at 25 or whatever with every texture blurred to hell and back.
