For now. Don't forget about the UI revamp that's happening right now.
I imagine lots of OpenGL stuff will be in there. I also imagine a 5200
will have a difficult time running 1920x1080 full screen OpenGL
effects. Not to mention the OpenGL video playback improvements that
have happened recently and may continue to happen.
