Unless im reading something wrong, in the tomshardware review it says that the 280 will NOT support DX10.1?

Buckets

That is correct. Nvidia is being stubborn.

I feel your pain how can you look at price when those numbers are soooo huge!!! Thankfully im going to be building my new rig at the end of the summer so ive got some time to sort out all of this new wonderfulness. Hopefully prices will be a bit more reasonable by that time too...

yeah... I'm gonna be building around middle of august. Honestly, I just can't see buying a GTX280 for that much when the 9800GTX sells for between 260-300. Then you factor in what the new Radeons will be costing. Sheesh, just a waste at this point IMO to just be able to say you own the latest nvidia.

I feel like this is a repeat of the 8800 Ultra. I still can't believe there were people willing to pay up to $900 or more for that card, which was just an overclocked 8800GTX.

ATI needs to bring both their cards to market ASAP. I hope they didn't botch this round. I'm not paying $650 for a new card but I also don't want new game to cripple my comp, damn you nVidia

KillDaddy

that video looks like a bunch of smoke and mirrors. They are using blur and camera shaking to make it look graphically better than it is.

I hate that type of camera operation in movies, why would I want it in my games?

ugh.

See that nVidia price war article is exactly why ATI should have been out by now. nVidia can launch at ridiculus prices and grab the initial cash flow from the impatient people. Then they look like saints by dropping their prices every few weeks. Meanwhile ATI has to drop prices before even releasing their products. ATI will loose out on that initial cash flow from release prices that nVidia got.

My recent troubles with nVidia cards makes me so biased towards ATI's new products, I so hope that they do well, especially in crossfireX
