your oersonal satisfaction with the games performance is the key parameter in the cost effectiveness equation.
Most gamers brag about the FPS they get and if someone beats them they immediately scrap their video card and get the latest and the greatest.

The radeon 9800 xt cranks out about 46 fps on doom 3. Is it worth buying the 9800 xt, or would the performance from the 9800 PRO version sufficient enough to play doom 3? Because vendors are selling the XT version for twice as much as the PRO version.
