im getting 80fps on mw2... thats not scraping... and thats without overclocking... this card will last for about 3 more years... yes by then it will be down to about 20-40fps for the higher end of games, but as JA said, he doesnt play those sorts of game... just low to mid end games.

and I played for about 2 years with a 6200 (this was 2 years ago), the games i that i was playing: CS: S, TF2, etc (mainly valve games). On lowest graphics i was playing at 15-20FPS... which was still reasonable to play with because i would often be up near the top of multiplayer games.

Is this at 1920x1080 with 4x AA and 16x AF? I find that hard to believe seeing as the benchmarks I saw for MW2 show that very few cards will get more than 80fps at a decent resolution, with AA. Your point on the previous page about AA not being applicable at 1920x1080 is simply invalid, even on a mates 30" Dell running at 2560x1600 I can notice jaggies in game when he turns it off.

Makes no difference if nVidia don't have anything to compete with the current generation at this time. Maybe this will change when March comes, but I'm fairly sure that the first Fermi cards will be out of everyones budget... Although looking at the benchmarks from MW2 above, he may be better getting a 4890 which performs ever so slightly better, and is the same price. It's also the same generation as the GTX200 series of cards, not that this makes much difference...
