Videocard for 100-175$

um Dx10 already came out since Vista came out.

8800 is one of the most top of the line videocards, of course it will be able to play it.

of course though the 8500 is a budget card, its just gonna replace the budget cards of right now (6800, 7300)

8600 though its just pretty much a 7900 with dx10 support, y get the direct x 9 version?

Price. Dx10 imo is useless if its a from budget card. If its a Dx10 game it's not going to be a mediocre made game, its going to be next-gen. Whats the point if I buy a Dx10 card thats budget, and by the time a Dx10 game finally comes out, im unable to play it?

I hope my tone doesn't sound rude or offending, because that is not my intention. Just FYI
