awhile, the first dx9 game was only a couple months ago, but there is a possibility the next gen card from nvidia and ati might have it, but don't get your hopes up i haven't heard anything about it when reading about the new cards coming out.

You don't upgrade until AFTER it arrives, and that won't be before the end of 2005 when Longhorn arrives (likely 2006 realy), that the next next generation hardware that will take advanatage of that if even then. Likely 6 mths later before you see anything that will use any DX10 based stuff to any stressfuly level.

Simple rule, <i>Don't upgrade until the games you're playing require you to upgrade, upgrading for future situations (especially DX10!) is foolish</i>.


And <b>DD</b>, DX10 is not a card based thing it's MS' API. Cards are made to comply with/meet the aspects of the API, not vice versa. Although cardmakers do have influence, the decisions flow from MS down, like most things in the PC world.
