For me everthing since the 9700 Pro has been an upgrade nothing like the breakthrough the R300 was. Going from the 8500 to the 9700 we pretty much saw doubling of everything ie fill rate, memory bandwidth etc. plus new directx. I hope the rumors about the R600 and G80 are true. almost 4 years of directx 9 is pushing it.
 
I'm hoping so, too. I doubt ATI and NV will let us down!
 
we had 4 years of dx9, dx9b, and dx9c

the upgarde we had after the R300's, the R400's and the NV30's were sometimes more then double the performance as well, everything was pretty much doubled, ram speed, cores, quads, support (even power consumption :D )

i just like where DX10 is going, supporting different ways of gaining performance instead of just adding pipes, speed and voltage
 
Personally I can't wait until the 2nd or 3rd gen of dx10 and the games that'll be released 1 yr after vista finally comes out.
 
im anxious to see how this whole vista thing plays out. because im ready to ....well...play it out!
 
Were not going to see an actual GOOD dx10 game for 2 years. Everything right after Vista is just going to be a graphic demo ,and why not if your a game company, easy money.
 
not sure if thats an actual DX10 portion of the game, its way cool, but just could be a physics portion of the game, possibly acheivable through the physx cards coming out
 
All the DX10 demo's so far have been done with software emulation of DX10. No hardware has been released yet to fully support DX10. The game developers have the DX10 tools, emulation, just no hardware to run it on. So, expect a good sized performance increase than what you see in these demos.

I got the info from Microsoft Flight Simulator development team (posts from avsim.com). They are still waiting on the hardware. They may be releasing a DX10 version (patch?) of FSX shortly after Vista & DX10 hardware releases.

I'm suprised we haven't heard much from ATI or NVIDIA on the DX10 parts. They should hit anytime... Probably this summer.
 
I'd wager we'll hear some noise mid summer, with a release this fall.

I just hit PCIe this week, DX10, sheesh!
 
With a spring refresh from nVidia releasing today, I bet the next release schedule will display DX10 cards since it require a new GPU design. It would be the same for ATI.
 
I was one of the first ones to buy the 9700pro. It was the king back then, but it was a while before I played my first DX9 game. Now I'm not so concerned about getting the latest and greatest hardware/OS. I'm happy as long as I can play all the games I want to TODAY with all the performance and eye candy possible. I know people hanging on to their Duron systems not being able to play most of todays game because they are waiting for Vista so they wont have to upgrade for a while.
