I've been looking at the buy/sell forum posts alot recently, and am wondering why is it that so many people are trying to sell their R270/280/290 & 77,78, & 79xx series cards ?
Weren't these cards just recently released, or are they really just not that good for some reason...and what are the alternatives that make it so tempting to want to replace these cards in the first place?
I know video cards are forever & constantly changing like everything else in computer tech, but are things so bad now that everyone just upgrades everything all the time just for the sake of upgrading and getting those small, incremental increases in performance .....
Apparently I have missed something along the way, but after reading through 1000's of spec sheets & reviews/reports/press releases, I just haven't seen any MAJOR, SUPER-DUPER, BREAKTHROUGH TYPE of advances in GPU tech that would IMHO justify this constant upgrade cycle.....
Can someone please enlighten me
