Okay, that explains it then.
There are those of us that subscribe to the philosophy that it is nice to buy a top end machine, configure it the best you can at the time you get it, and then let it g ride, letting it gracefully decline into obsolesence, getting comfortable with its quirks and limitations, and enjoying the eventual wow factor of doing it all over again many years later. This is in diametric opposition to the "stay on the bleeding edge at all times" philosophy which requires many hours spent reinstalling and reconfiguring operating systems, drivers, dealing with 1st run boards issues, and the like, including reloading from backup, tweaking. etc.
I've been where you are, so I can understand your mindset, but I'm not there now and happy with it.
So I guess we can leave it at that. I'll probably be upgrading my videocard soon anyway, which makes arguing from my viewpoint somewhat a waste of time. I really just wanted to say that there isn't much point it putting in features that few people can use who would be attracted to the SCP (ie, people with mid range cards)
