More cards don't make a game better. Games needing so much cards to be fun to play, can not be called "good" at all. Whatever stuff nvidia/amd come with, it is all going towards a dead end. Unlike most of you, I am in the opinion that current (and future) developments are not that good at all.
I mean, those developments are not really to make games (look) better, but to make it possible to run them. Just think of Crysis, and you get my point. Developers should program efficiently again, and not only in case of games. Needing a P4 to be able work with Word (in 2000/XP) or a dual core to check your e-mail (in Vista), is not as things should be. And if the software is "all right", hardware manufacturers do not have to do all that tricks they are doing, to get sufficient performance. Instead they could, for example, try to get better performance/watt ratios. That would be a desireable development!
