good

i'm guessing 400-600 dollars depending on model...

At launch. But that's only the 1-3 flagship GPU's they'll release. Eventually, there will be mid and low GPUS.

well said. case and point: when the athlon X2 processor was released only the x2 4800+ was available now it ranges from 3600+ upwards.

flight simulator x uses dx10..

Also it can run on DX9.
The first screenshot here is on DX9, and the second is running on DX10

mmm DX10, but whether you upgrade your ram and such it wont have an impact on whether you can run DX10 or vista when it comes out, im upgrading mine now and besides after a year after launch when i get vista, ill probally need to upgrade again.

Reminds me off when the physics cards had better graphics but overall gave lower fps and were expensive, not that dx10 isn.

Dude, you don't really think thats real do you? The water is totally fake, you can see they overlayed a photo of real water over the "DX9" screenshot, check out the reflection irregularities, they are the same in both.

Also, the edges of the water are totally messed up, whoever made that fake screenshot is a total n00b.

That picture is totally fake.

Rofl, I thought it looked odd.

Here, I overlayed the "DX10" at 50% opacity on top of the DX9 one, you can see they are the same picture, just photochopped.

If that is DX10, it is amazing, but not worth a $500 video card.
