!Anyway, if I wasn't going to buy a Wii and games, and all this other stuff. Then maybe I would buy one. But my current card plays all the games I play perfectly. No reason to upgrade yet.

See, thats the irony. DX10 itself isn't out, its a core piece of vista. But the video cards that need it are already for sale :lol:

Ahem, thats not a sign of power. My 250gb hdd, wth 3 gb of RAM, and a 3.0ghz intel extreme edition w)hyperthreading & dual core, is running AGP. Great everything, but without pci-e.

Meh, I've been using my onboard GeForce 6xxx series video in my nForce 430 chipset for a while now since my 6600GT burned out. There just hasn't been much in the way of interesting 3D games recently for me, most of what I play is 2D. I'm sure I will upgrade later, esp. if UT2007 is fun, but most of my favorites run fine on here. Quake 1-3, UT classic (1999), Serious Sam, Vice City, etc. I'd like to pick up a few more FPS'es and some air combat sims later and when I do I'm sure I'll buy whatever higher-end 7xxx series adapter is economical at that point. Probably 7800GTO, as it'll fit my waterblock.

Looks crap and the Radeon R600 will spank it .
I was looking at these DX10 cards and the 'next gen' gaming pc's a couple of days ago and some of the power requirements are pretty scary. I can't find the requirements for the GeForce 8800GTX, but the Radeon R600 will need at least 200W for itself. Put it in xFire and throw in a Duo and you need at least 560W to power them alone. Throw in the hard drives, optical drives, RAM and a physX card and you are looking at needing atleast a 700W PSU, probably even 1000W.
I had been planning on getting such a computer sometime after xmas, but I don't have a clue where I could put it so that it is properly cooled.

I hate ATI as they've yet to write decent *nix drivers. Now, I bet most of you will come running screaming "that doesn't matter to the ordinary user!", and yes, it doesn't and I've never said anything of the sort -- I'm just saying I don't like them 'cause of it.
