In a couple of months i will spend another 200 to 300 bucks on a Top Of The Line card, which will then be outdated in another six months.

I am starting to side with the guys that still have their computers from the stone age of computing. They were simple and you didn't have to upgrade every few months....lol
I know what you mean. Video cards are the fast moving hardware bit these days. Back in the day, it was the processor that changed every six months. Before that, it was the memory (measured in MB or even KB) and software's ability to use it. You didn't even give the video card much thought until the Pentium era.
