Imagine if getting the support for current generation graphics technology didn't require spending more than $79. Sure, performance wouldn't be good at all, and resolution would be limited to the lower end. But the latest games would all run with the latest features. All the excellent water effects in Half-life 2 would be there. Far Cry would run in all its SM 3.0 glory. Any game coming out until a good year into the DirectX 10 timeframe would run (albeit slowly) feature-complete on your impressively cheap card.
