|  Re: Graphics card Rankings Nice list, it will be helpful. Well, to others anyway, I've almost already decided what card I want to get. I'll be building a computer sometime in the coming months I hope (just need to start job hunting again) and I was thinking about getting an eVGA 8800GTS. A friend told me today that not many games will even be using DX10 capabilities this year so I reconsidered my choice. Is there really any reason I should get a DX10 this year or would a X1950XTX do me just fine? And if I do get a X1950XTX, which one should I get?

| Re: Graphics card Rankings Not into gaming? I'm going to build a gaming PC, otherwise no I wouldn't worry about DX10. Come to think of it, I'm just going to use XP, at least until the Vista woes get straitened out so I'm guessing I should probably go with a DX9?

The 8800GTS can play any DX9 at max settings.

DirectX 10 is not the only thing that makes the 8800's good.

For starters, the 8000 series cards have unified shaders
