And then on Wiki I saw that PCI-e 3.0 is on it's way aswell.

I can only sit here foaming at the mouth.

It's getting ridiculous.

It's annoying because my PC is fine in every other way.

I know there are a lot of cheaper options for me PC wise.

But how come it seems that XBox 360 can produce nice graphics on such old tech. (GPU wise anyway)

Isn't a PS3 using a Geforce 7 series type GPU or something? I mean this is High Def aswell.

The GX2 will probably not even use all the bandwidth available in PCI1.1 never mind PCI2.0
