Nvidia and ATI(AMD)need to start improving their business model.
I remember a time when you bought a graphic card and you could play any game at high settings with high FPS rates for the next 3 years. One such example is Riva TNT 2, it lasted me 4 years, 3 of which i could play any game with at least decent FPS for 3 years and only in the forth year i started having slow frames in games.
So instead of the current model where every 6 months release new products with different name but same speeds or at best only 15% faster than a previous equivalent model.
There are more examples: take the difference from the FX5600Ultra to 6600GT, radeon x600 to radeon x1650XT at least 50% faster products at a decent price!
The previous 3 generation were for example 7600GT to 8600GT=5% increase in speeds, 8600GT to 9600GT=5-10% increase in speeds, x1650XT to hd2600XT=5-10% increase in speeds, hd2600XT to 3650=5-10% increase in speeds and convert the % in frames it comes down to only 4-9 more fps.
