nVidia's DX10 mainstream cards released today

[Anusha]

Here's a review of the three cards that were released today in the US market (officially): http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2970

After seeing the results, I'm definitely gonna hold on until I see X2600XT card's performance and pricing, and performance in DX10 titles. Hopefully that day is not that far away.

However, that "100% transfer of video post-processing burden to the GPU" is pretty awesome. :yes:

nVidia are very stupid this way around to give 128bit memory bus width to these cards. They really go down when AA is turned off. How crazy is that they support AA upto 16x!!

Well, the good thing is that 8300/8400 are OEM only. They are not available in retail. So our fellows will have to at least sell 8500GT cards, which aren't that bad. They will perform almost as fast as 7600GT, but with the newest features.

Sooner the better :D
