its shock to see the Ultra get choked at 25 fps with 4xAA on shocking.gif
That's one reason why it is advisable not to get a DX10 card yet. However, I still think the drivers are still not yet optimized and these early games do not take full advantage of DX10 capabilities/features. Maybe crysis will give a better picture?

Lol..sounds ridiculous because i am using an 8600GS in my laptop and i can't even find drivers aside from the ones the laptop manufacturer gave. I find no problems with DX10 in CoH though some of those using desktops are reporting severe framrate issues.

I still suggest waiting. Wait until it matures. I do apologize if it sounds ridiculous.

There's only so long that one can wait. DX10 will mature but at what point do you consider mature enough? Don't forget that drivers are constantly tweak and will usually improve frame rates even years down the line.

I guess it boils down to a few factors:
1) How long you can wait before you want to play DX10 games
2) How lower do you want the prices to drop
3) How much you're willing to spend
4) How mature do you want vista and DX10 drivers to be

I'm also waiting but probably until I see some real reason to get a DX10 card and also some reviews on the performance of these cards on true DX10 games. So far, those DX10 games that are out are disappointing!

Don't forget, as Vista/DX10 drivers/DX10 games mature, the frame rates will also improve......
