    Good, so when DX11 comes out they can start working on DX10 finally, then warm up to DX11 once DX12 comes out.

    Wow.

    I just realized I've been putting off buying a new graphics card for so long, that a new DirectX came out.

    This is why, as much as I love computers, I have become a convert to console gaming, where the entire system costs the same as just a graphics card.

    Supposedly we should see the HD5800 in the middle of September. Before Windows 7 releases with DX11.

    Actually, when the hell does DX11 hit?

    @SJRNWT: I understand. I have a PS3 and and XBox 360. My only point is that the PC is more of a niche gaming platform now as consoles largely eliminated the hardware arms-race.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I don't find that to be true at all. Massive Multiplayer Games, Shooters (especially multiplayer focused ones), and strategy games (real-time or otherwise) all still have a strong showing on the PC. I say use the platform that fits. A keyboard is better for communicating or more complicated controls and a mouse is better for precise movement control. On the other hand, a standardized controller and networking system is more approachable and intuitive for the most part. For me, PC gaming has been more about types of games that do not translate well to consoles, usually based on user interface requirements.

    @OMG! Ponies!:

    for me GTA IV was the final nail in my PC gaming coffin. with no PC release i was 'forced' into getting a PS3. no regrets. (other than having to actually buy/rent games.. lol)

    the only serious gaming on my PC now is good old MAME.

    i suppose this post is more for MMMMOG players...

    You mean console's largely eliminated the development of good games. I remember when ever PC game released was something new and exciting, and graphics were always getting better. Console's ruined innovation.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Exactly! I'm tired of buying a video card only to find out it's obsolete 5 minutes after I walk out of the store and doesn't work with the latest version of Tom Clancy's Ms. Pacman's Las Vegas Conspiracy or Tomagotchi Lite...

    I'm so over the whole custom building, over-clocking, and dealing with sweaty nerds pawing and drooling at newest video card at computer shows, while completely ignoring totally hot asian chick with both headlights on standing right next to them.
    sickening.

    Wait, what were we talking about?

    Well Nvidia. Quality over speed for video encoding.
    And I don't really care how much load it takes off the CPU. I paid for a quad and I want it to flex it's muscles.
    Nvidia's PhysX support is nice for gaming too. Work and play all in one card/
    Though I would guess Quadro cards would run Cuda even better than the GeForce range as they are aimed at work.

    @Nintenboy01:
    I don't know. PhysX is great and all, but I can't think of any games that have REALLY utilized it.

    Sure, Mirror's Edge has an abundance of plastic wrap, and Arkham Asylum has a large quantity of paper all over the floor to fly around while you fight enemies, but is that really what PhysX is all about?

    I still go with Nvidia... though not for any particular reason. I suppose I'm more well versed in Nvidia cards, and I have come to appreciate EVGA.
