Well, the ATi DX 11 cards are already here and are fantastic. nVidia is joining the party sometime between Jan 26 and late April (We just know it's the first quarter of their next fiscal year).
If you already have a high end card from the ATi HD 4xxx or nVidia GTX 2xx series then I would wait on DX 11 for a while. It's almost never worth the investment going from high end to high end from one gen to the next right at launch unless you've got money to burn.

I thought DX11 would be a software update anyhow? Yes, the new ATI cards are DX11 already--but didn't Microsoft announce that DX11 will be a software, not hardware, upgrade? If that is the case, wouldn't people be able to run DX11 on DX10 cards with proper drivers/updates? Maybe I missed something...and if I did, please educate me lol.

FWIW, the DX11 demos look truly amazing. Got my 5850 installed and ran the Ladybug demo and Heaven Benchmark. Very very nice stuff.

Id point out that DX10 was gimped from the beginning, as nVidias DX10 cards werent totally compliant with the original DX10, thus later we had DX10.1.
That, the fact it went away from the norm, meaning we needed a new operating system, going against a OS thatd been around twice as long as any prior to it, the poor reception to Vista etc slowed the uptake of DX10/10.1 into the market.
Now, were back on track, with windows 8 set to release in 2012, or the common 3 years between OS'

Game manufacturers seemed to play it smart with DX10 (by skipping it lol) and producing DX9 games until DX11 was mainstream. I like the fact that there is finally something new coming out that is worth getting, and is not being completely *** on by not only users (both uneducated, unexperienced, and unworthy) but by media. It is true, Vista had it's issues upon release...but it is not the bastard child that it was made out to be. I personally did not mind Vista, especially Vista Ultimate 32 and 64. With any new OS you will run into bugs and glitches, but if you have a computer and you use it--expect to have problems with it! lol not everyone can fix these problems, and thus I have job security

Steam makes me so mad sometimes lol. I wish steam would make better updates (like my 1080p resolution error with Win7 Ultimate 64.) They fixed it, but it took a few weeks of having to change my resolution to launch Counter Strike Source. Little things matter, but they have grown so rapidly that I think that idea is all but gone.
I think it will not be long before XP is phased out completely. Legacy machines
JayDeeJohn, is the "e" on the end of "Stepchild" intentional under your avatar? It has been bugging my OCD mind for the last few weeks lol. Wondered if you did that on purpose to irritate me, or if you just slipped and hit "e" rather than "d" and no one had pointed it out yet? hahaha

I agree viper. This has influenced my decision not to upgrade to the 5 series cards. I now can now buy something else with my newegg gift certificate(s) for X-mas this year. I will probably wait for second generation DX11 cards to come out to make a purchase since my corssfire 4850's can max pretty much any game I play at 1680x1050.

Don't tempt me dirtdiver :-) I would like to, but I am satisfied with my system at the moment. Not to mention I don't want to reinstall my OS's and all of the games that I have on them. Maybe a 1920x1080 monitor that will put the squeeze on my current config, but I would really like a new plasma or lcd tv.

Stop the Madness! I have a problem keeping my hand from my wallet! I do have to say that between the state of my computer and tv, the tv is in need of an upgrade more than my system does. The deals from the site that Tom's advertises on the home page are killing me too./whispers "black friday, buy a new new tv...it is good for the economy...buy things...don't tell the old lady...upgrade your PC...buy things.."

And to make matters worse is I just got a $600 dollar check from my mortgage company for overpayment on my escrow. Oh and I don't have an old lady so I only have to listen to myself
. Thank you, dirtdiver, for being the little devil sitting on my shoulder pushing me to buy some cool new gadgets. I may be watching my Redskins lose in HD for the rest of the year very soon.

Its just a slur of the language, meaning stepchild.
It just accentuates the red headed stepchild thing
