R700 for DX10.1 or DX11?

[fish]

---

if you have a high end dx9 card... i.e. x1900 series, x1950series, 7900 series... you may want to hold on to your cards for a little longer, before jumping to the dx10 cards...(aside for the reason that there are no real DX10 games available yet in the market...) ati and nvidia are planning, or atleast rumored to be planning to release the next generation graphics cards... the R700 and the G100, 1st quarter of next year.

here are the links...

Company of heroes
F.E.A.R. Extraction point
The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion
Prey
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of chernobyl

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow Of chernobyl video card geForce 8600 GT is more preferable than Radeon x1950 GT, but defence is small. Furthermore, as test showed, we are able to play this game correctly only with incomplete dynamic illumination in 1024 X 768 resolution .

Conclusion

It is clear that new video card are faster than predecessor. On average in all benchmarks and games the advantage Of geForce 8600 GT over the 7600 GT is 34- 36%, minimum is equal to 4%, and maximum 73%. Furthermore, GeForce 8600 GT possesses higher frequency potential.

Now as comparison of today competitor video card GeForce 8600 GT and radeon x1950 GT. AMD did not present products of average and low price range using API directX 10 ; therefore as comparison we can use top ATI products from the previous generation, in this case we talk about Radeon x1950 GT. This last card with similar cost has a good advantage over nvidia 8600GT in games such as Serious sam 2, Quake 4, F.E.A.R ; Prey, and also Company Of heroes. GeForce 8600 GT is somehow faster in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of chernobyl and noticeably faster in The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Besides these two games GeForce 8600 GT have advantage in the form of higher overclock potential and smaller energy consumption , and also in our view a simple PCB. Well do not forget also about DirectX 10 support smiley. So for those who look for new video card updating from a 7600GT or lower can for sure go with 8600GT but those who already have a radeon x1950 GT, there is no sense to get the card. I would propose to wait for ATI video card in this segment and then u can make a final conclusions. At present there is no need to hurry with purchase Of directX 10 graphic card . For sure i am not talking about 8800GTS or 8800 GTX from high end class.
