I'll rather wait for a card that has
full support on Direct X 10.

This is still Direct X 9!

This thing is a monster! TOO bad it will take a monster bite out of my wallet.
With two of these, I could use for a downpayment on a new car. LOL!

Give me a 256MB version for half the price

Powering them into a hole...did Nvidia finally do away with their 24 bit, 16 bit kludge ? Specs are great but side by side my OLD ATI 9700 Pro with 128 mb of 450Mhz ram runs to at least 80% of a buddies Nvidia 6800 GT, and mine is 2+ years old....Unless things REALLY change...I'd wait for the ATI x1k series boards, with multi GPU support, allowing for dual graphics boards without the SLI mess...vaguely remember someone else doing that....oh yeah Voodoo went down shouting the praises of scan line interleave....512 mb of dedicated video ram is obscene...Saturated bus, overworked HD, and all of it behind an outdated memory poorly conceived memory management structure that just screams ADD MORE instead of fixing/streamlining the texture compression/ caching issues. Sounds like a M$ answer to a problem....require 3 times the resources so your double bloat still seems like an improvement :(
