Can someone tell me what good is DX10 and SM 4.0 anyway?
I read a lot about Geometry Shaders, Unified Architecture, etc.
But I don't see any big difference with DX9c

It is solely about selling new hardware and software. "New" does not always mean "improved".

That's pretty good since most sites tell us that it has hard time running 1280x1024 with no AA. Are you sure you have AA enabled? You probably think you have it enabled. You have to hack it to use AA.

Don't see a 9800gtx/s coming out by the end of the year unless ATI ups the anti with a card that can actually compete with nVidia's 8800 series. And have they given any indication they plan to do this? If they've got something waiting in the wings, the holidays would be a good time to release it into the world.

But even if this happened, would nVidia have enough motivation to come out with the 9800s so soon? If ATI's offering turned out to merely match (or barely exceed) the 8800s I doubt they'd feel a pressing need to eclipse them.

Then again, if ATI drops a sizeable bombshell onto the market, boasting, say, a 10-15% increase in performance over nVidia's flagship, that might change things, mightn't it?

All of this, of course, is hypothetical. In any case, I wouldn't hold out hope for the 9800 until ATI makes a move. Just doesn't make any sense from a financial perspective to eat one's own young.

Just some thoughts.

The newest thing I saw anything about was the HD2950Pro if you don't count this review:
