What card would ou be thinking of? another x850 and put them in CF? or a brand new one? And if i remember correctly, DX10 is comming out at the end of 06.. but dont quote me on that.

uhu very true yeah because the x850 xt pe's price's dropping like mad ( ) i thought i can buy the second graphics card with new mobo, and that would be cheaper than buying a dx10 card and 2 x850 xt pe will still run dx10 ? soooo just buy a dx10 or another x850 xt pe ?

Another X850 XT PE will be no good , you'll need a Crossfire master card matey .

True.. and does your mobo support CF? If not, wait for the DX10.

I would just wait. the x850 performs pretty well as is, enough to keep you until dx10.

Re: Upgrading not for ages, but....

The x850 will not support dx10, so don't bother to save it if you think it will. Save that card until the new dx10 cards come out, which will be around june/july.

Vista is *supposed* to come out at the end of this year, but the first dx10 cards should be coming out in june/july.

I doubt that, 7900's and x1900 just got released, i would not expect DX10 cards until Q4 of this year or maybe Q1 2007
