i cant seem to locate any literature on this, or im too retarded to use keywords today, but
is there any news of a 2nd generation of dx10 cards on the horizon? i am getting really anxious and want to bite on a 8800. i want to hold off though if, like everything else...there will be a flood of better and cooler cards for release.. any info will be appreciated. thanks.
 
Sure, it'll be coming around November/December. nVidia does a product launch every 6 months, and that's when the next one will be. No idea how big of a change it will be, but that's when it is happening.

I know I heard somthing about nvidia doing a 1 giga flop card that will be 2X what the 8800 Ultra is.. for there 2nd gen of card's but there are no game's that need that kind of Power out right now and there will not be for a while.. But I know I will be getting one.. But I think it is safe to buy an 8800 GTS 640MB and just OC it.. and you will have no prob's running any game's that are out right now on the highest setting's if you have a good CPU that is..

NVIDIA is set to launch G90/G92 in November, which on paper, should provide 1 TeraFLOP of computing power. According to NVIDIA's own 8800 GTX numbers, G90/G92 should be twice as fast as a 8800 GTX.

However, do not play the waiting game. If you can afford a 8800, by all means buy it. It will provide you the best gaming experience right now. Plus, at the time G90/G92 is out, 8800s will still be worth good money, so you can always sell yours, if you really want the new cards.
