[zachig]

nVidia's new G80 GPU that has yet to be released touts a lot of new features, among them 48 pixel shader processors and, most important to gamers, native DirectX 10 (Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0) support. nVidia isn't, however, following Microsofts unified shader language for the development of their card.

This is going to turn out to be a very interesting year.

It will be a whole new world of gaming machines come Christmas.

the big question is if Vista support DX10 and Nvidia still not but ATI is
will the next battle has allready won by ATI?
ATI Technologies has already developed a unified shader architecture used in the Xenos graphics processor of the Xbox 360 game console

let's not forget that XBOX360 is microsoft so ATI has learned what needed for DX10 and future.

it's going to be a hard year for Nvidia

Hmm, I´ve heard that G80 will be released before R600, that can means that G80 will be the first dx10 card and it will sell very well.
However, if it doesn´t have unified shaders, I think it will loose a lot of performance against R600 and that will be a huge disappointment.

I can´t wait for the new cards to appear :lol:
