Re: G80-

Jesus Christ man, everyone else on the face of the planet will tell you the exact same thing.NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 Shading Architecture
is not the same thing as the unifed shaders(?) in dx10. Simply put:
There is NO card that can physically support dx10, it's simply not possible.

This isn't like a change between dx8.1 and 9, which was just an addition of code. This is a complete rewrite of the entire graphics subsystem and as such only the next generation of cards will be dx10 capable.

Re: G80-

CinFX 4.0 is a marketing term.

No current video card support Pixel/vertex shader 4.0, and none support the feature set of DX10. Also DX10 will not run on these parts, but instead use a DX9 fallback API.

DX9 cards will still run future games because they will have to be hybrids, otherwise the developers will be committing suicide with such a small userbase ... at least initially for the first year or two.

Bottom line DX10 will be uber cool 2-3+ years from now, but right now nothing supports it, and the OS that it ships with is expected in Q1 2007... not much to see here, move along.

i guess i got lot more to learn thanks for putting that way
