Yes, some games use too much CPU and don't push the
graphics much (low res texture and simple effects).
Then there are games that push graphics so much you
need to run at a lower resolution and turn off AA.

I exptect for next generation of games to take full
advantage of these Gf6800, Gf7800, X1800, X1900, etc
so will there be enough cycles for physics?
