This and Vista benchmarks can help.

However, PC gaming is dieing because of devs. They want to code for highend too much and then want consumers to buy both new hardware and software.

Those days are nearly gone. Something is going to have to give! Either card makers are going to have to fund devs or 3D hardware need to get CHEAP.

You have it exactly right. It should not be the case that a game like Jericho, I cannot play unless I have an 'uber graphics card'.
They should be coding for the graphics cards of 2-3 years ago, not the latest and the greatest graphics cards.
The biggest problem however is that they have to cut down on the 'eye candy' and simply make a game well that looks REASONABLY good. I don't need 'real time moving grass in the wind!' like lately they have been thinking that we do.

Actually, in most cases..... they are just as good as NVidia, once you take into account that Ati graphics cards, even high ends, take less power than the comparable NVidia card..... one of the main reasons why I am sticking with Ati in my computers.
