Directx 10

I heard that directx 10 will need a new graphic card that they dont even make yet... so hold off on any upgrades

Where in that article did it say a new video card would be required?

It'll probaly be on VISTA anyway, and HELL NO, I'm not touching Vista for a while.. I mean C'mon! It took WinXP 5 DAMN YEARS!!1 to become stable... "thanx to SP2" can u imagine how much time will pass until VISTA is useful? plus, all the damn spywate & malware SOB's are gonna start programming crap to screw it up as soon as you get online.. remember MS-BLASTER?

If you feel the crunch upgrade video in March / April. (ie: now, or wait 12 months).

This will have little impact until March / April 2007. (next year)

If the video cards released in October 2006, this year, are going to be DX10 parts, they'll look poor in comparison to the '2nd revision' by April 2007 anyway.

It happens all the time, Either upgrade video every March / April, or every October... or every 2nd year depending on what you got last time.

The trick is selling your old video card while it is still worth something, and putting that cash into your next video card.

At the bottom of the artical it actually says dx10 will use backwards compatibility for dx9 games but for dx10 will require a new vcard

This is why I stuck with my 6800ge 256bit, it plays ever game with good to superduper results
