Hey all, i went through 7 pages of dx10 threads looking for what i needed, and failed to find it. i'm sure this has been brought up/asked before, so feel free to flame.

We all know DX10 is coming and vista this blah blah blah
The part im having a hard time seeing is the point of waiting for a dx10 card, or getting one of the current cards. I want to upgrade my whole computer, but i do it all at once.
What are the benifits with aero and everything else to waiting?

Right now i see people using the Beta of Vista fine with current gen cards. So i can't decide wether or not to wait. What is DX10 bringing to the table
 
well we don't know for sure because there are not any games out yet that run in DX9 and DX10 so you can see the difference however DX10 is written from scratch with no backward compability to older DX versions. This should allow a lot of legacy crap to go by the wayside and make things faster.

It also requires hardware to fully support DX10 features unlike older versions where a card was "DX compatible" but not fully compliant

Heres an article

the reason for waiting isnt specifically for the dx10,but its what will change in prices of the previous generation cards. also the new direct x 10 cards will deliver more power to direct x 9 so you can have all the goodies on with outstanding fps. For others some are preparting for vista with direct x 10 and crysis,but most people are with my 1st and 2nd point.
 
Wow, i had no idea the diffrence, thanks for the excellent articles. I must admit after reading them i'm rather content with waiting.
