"Nvidia's GeForce 8600: DX10 on a budget"

[Moofaa]

I have an old Gf4 Ti 4600. Not a bad card from its generation, but nowhere near todays standards. Runs WoW nicely though :-) Question is, what will be out in June/July when I start ordering peices for my new rig?

I wanna know if the NVidia 8K series gonna have a Dual Processor card like the 7950GX2. If yes then we are pretty much set for the next two years. All we have to do is plug in a second card in SLi.

I would guess so but you need like a 4000watt psu

Finally. A Cheap"er" DX10 card. Good stuff. To bad I am a poor university student now. Ahh my good old 6800gt has a lot more fraging left in it though.

anyone know if the ati all-in-wonder 2006 pci express edition can handle DX10? i'm not sure if thats said right but its out there so

what qualifies a video card to be a DX10 capable card?

[onelegout]

It can't. ATI have not released a DX10 card yet. The only DX10 card on the market at the moment is the 8800GTX/GTS.

Hardware. It will say somewhere that it is DX10 capable. DX10 has certain specifications that only hardware can meet, and right now, DX10 cards are very few (Only 8800 series ATM).

has there been a date set yet for when dx10 comes out, or more vid cards that support them?!

[Silenced_Coyote]

According to this, 8600 will be out in middle of the 2nd quarter.

By the way, the 8800GTS 320MB came out and it is selling for about $300.

I know the card sucks I bought it like 2 years ago

woah its a pretty decent card,
considering that many computers have integrated graphics (sucks)
