Did Nvidia pay you people to keep ATI out of the picture.
I can only hope you're kidding, as they previously printed out a three part series about only ATI cards. In the threads following that, people accussed them of being bought off by ATI. In light of that, I hope you were being ironic, but be careful what you say or people might think you're serious.
Where is it said that the current line of cards won't support DX 10? Can anyone post a link? (not doubting the validity, just wondering).
Everyone should also be very aware of the huge differences between brands of cards. It's not just about warranty length, it's also about if a system comes with a different cooler or overclocked. For instance, it might be worth it to get a card that comes factory overclocked and with a better HS/fan. Although the OC won't be extreme, it will still be guaranteed to be on warranty.
Finally, to anyone who just wants to be able to run games and doesn't care about resolution, my FX 5200 AGP could run everything up to Oblivion on low resolution, just fyi.
