Gotta agree there. Hell, I've still got my V3 and I still don't consider
current cards to be worth $500 bucks for me. The V3 still plays everything
just fine. I'll be waiting to see what NV20 or Rampage has to offer. Maybe
they will be worth $500 bucks. Not sure about Rampage but I think NV20 will
be out this fall. I hope they have done two things with NV20:

1. Added some sort of accumulation buffer to equal 3dfx's FSAA.
2. Solved the damn memory bandwidth problem.

I want a card that can do 1024x768x32 with 4xAA enabled at 80-100fps in even
the most demanding games. Is that too much to ask for from NV20 or
Rampage???
