That is not true. Just because you haven't played them, doesn't mean they don't exist.. I have played atleast 4 or 5 games that stress my 8800GTX, and that is at a resolution of "only" 1680x1050. Had I have bought a bigger screen, it would only be worse.

I wish! If you look at the games due in the next year alone, there are some that will make our 8800's cry.

Wow, dream on. If you are talking about running games at 800x600, then you may be right. But at normal resolutions, there are
already games that slaughter this graphics card. Just buy something like FSX for example. Use high quality settings on that, and watch your frame rate plummet into the single digits.
