I don't really know a ton about GPU speeds and such, but when this standard is released and there are available cards, games are going to blow my mind. Here are some examples.

This blows my mind.

is crysis an upcoming game or something that is going to use directx 10?

B-E-A-utiful

/drool

Been waiting a long time for Crysis. It's predecessor (FarCry) is probably my favorite SP FPS of all time, and Crysis aims to totally obliterate it.

Damn... That almost makes me want to build a gaming rig. shock

Crysis is the follow-up to FarCry by the CryTek folks . It's actually the name of the graphics engine used to develop the game, so that may not actually be the release name for the game.

snaps.. that's crazy

i need to get my machine up and running!

I'm so waiting to get a new computer until DX10 cards are out...

Same time as Vista I assume shrug

Should be when Vista comes out. I'm looking forward to getting another pricy card.

Actually, I heard the first DX10 card should arrive sometime in November.
The NVIDIA 8800GTX and the NVIDIA 8800GT. ;)
Both will be DirectX 10 compatible. Yay.

Does either card have an MSRP yet?

Shit, I don't know if my laptop can handle that.

DAMN... $650 for the overclock card... I don't like video games THAT much ?

Lol...Thats crazy.

Id get it..But id rather spend the money on clothes or somthing since the ony game i really play is like counterstrike...

$649 shock

And the PS3 is expensive? lol

im waiting for the intel quad core and dx10 videocards, then its blow lots of money time.

I guess there's a market for a 88004Free site. I wonder which company will do it first?

Trainn or YGF. D

BTW Shouldn't this be in the Tech forum?

Yes. limovedli

Guess what? Fuck the PS3 and the Xbox 360 they don't have DX10. Only PC does. Cyrotek already said that they can not release to EITHER system because they are not fast enough (not DX10) to run there new game. Viva la Vista and the new age of computer gaming!

FarCry is going to look sick with DX10...
