I don't know whether or not it's a big deal to do this on a 7xxx series, but holy god, could he possibly have phrased this any worse?

I don't know about you guys, but I upgrade my video card once every 2 years. I get whatever's the #2 (paying 200-250 rather than 600.) Right now I have some 7xxx series. It runs stuff (Source engine etc) fine at high resolution and yields good to great FPS. If Valve can draw shadows on my card, why can't LL?

8xxx support "generous"? That's so irrational it borders on hilarious. Did this guy really sit down and think about it, or did he just make the decision in a split second based on his personal preference concerning how often he upgrades his own systems? It's just so badly put together that I'd have to assume the latter.

Supporting "old" tech is "pandering"?
"Overreaction machine"?
"Cheapskates of the world"?

Right, because we're all demanding this feature on our Voodoo Banshees and Riva TNTs.
