DX10 - G80 - MS VISTA

[councilofdespai]

Just came to me that although you may own a DX10 card running Windows XP you are limited to DX9.0c only and only when Vista appears will you be doing the DX10 thang. Hence Vistas current RC2 credentials beg the question of the release date for this underperforming (current RC2 gaming benchmarks anyways) behemoth of a OS (its huge btw with 512 MB RAM used when having just booted) and the release of proper DX10 vista drivers and all of the debugging that DX10 will require.

Is the G80 and R600 going to be worth buying for at lease 3 to 6 months due to DX10 games also being delayed such as Crysis (or so I hear)?

I agree that if you want the highest resolution and aa/af maxed out then yer its a good buy but who wants to play Crysis Dx9c when the card can do the game in DX10?
