I was visiting Scan.co.uk to see if any of there prices had drops and I saw

. The GeForce 8800 Graphics Cards, which support DirectX 10.
The cheaper versions arent in stock yet but the more expensive ones are.
They are a bit out of my price bracket, but I thought I should tell you guys.

Can't wait to see ATi's DirectX 10 boards.

No real point in getting them now, Vista isn't even out yet and no games have an absolute requirement for DX10 yet. Also I heared there were a few cards affected that would make these cards stop working when switching from 2D/3D. Apparently this only affected a few cards.

I'm personally waiting for ATI cards to come out then I'll look at benchmarks. ATI will probably dominate the high end but I'm looking for a sweet spot solution, like the 7600GT was this generation and the 6600GT before it.

Oh and I love Scan.co.uk , probably the best PC parts retailer in the UK.
