Depends on the person. Some people play with the graphics card more than the 
game. When they play games 90% of their mind is focused on the performance 
on the card :) I used be like that!!! Always monitoring glitches and frame 
rates. After 2 years of doing that I finally found games uninteresting and 
have almost totalling lost interest in gaming. Finally realised I've been 
too fussing about these things and made a cure. No longer do I care (as 
much) about my system performance and now I actually enjoy my games! :D I 
used to think dying is cooling because the effects tested the card :/
