I expect it must be difficult for the devs as it will always be a compromise so that there is a broad spectrum of acceptable running specs to the end users- it would be no good if you were forced into upgrading to high end gear just to run the game, as obviously that would hit sales. Hence the popularity of consoles, devs are working to a common platform, ie, everyone has got a PS2/3 or an X-Box so they can wring every last scrap of performance from a title.

Remember too, that a lot depends on the resolution / size of screen you look at, I've got a 20" LCD @ 1680 x 1050 so a mid range card should cope perfectly well.

Which is why I would like a 24" screen and a 5870

Hah! Just been promoted to "Nub"- whatever they are...
