- One of the few things I have noticed is that a lot of the gaming software for pc's is limited to a few graphics cards if programmers actually took the time to make the game available for more that two graphic cards then they might see a higher revenue in game sales and i understand that a certain amount isn't possible due to high resolution and high graphic detail and there are quite a few graphic cards that are powerful enough to run a lot of newer games but programmers are unwilling to to serve to potential buyers and players... ok time for this rant to end...
