Anyone got any ideas on the initial retail price of the new DX10 cards? And one thing I'm wondering is this.
We go out and buy ourselves all nice shiny 8800 GTX's, install 'em, and start playing us some DX9 games. The frame-rates are excellent and we congratulate ourselves on a purchase well done, then comes the first DX10 game, we load it up and start to play..... and we get a 3fps average on medium settings, occasionally spiking up to 9. "What the fark!?" we cry....
(my point is, how are we gonna see how well these games will perform in Dx10 scenarios, if DX10 is not gonna be available for at least another 3 or 4 months.
