I ran Oblivion pretty damn great on a X1950XTX @ 1920 x 1200, 2 x AA and HDR

Really?
Sounds great. But do you have any guess on what will happen to the Oblivion gaming experience with the unified architecture GPU? Since the advice in the write-up is pretty easy to understand: "Don't buy a new card right now." it would be fun to get somebody’s qualified guess on what we’ll gain from waiting.
If you don’t have a clue maybe somebody knows a place where I can read more about this developement?
Thanks again

Well
I may be doing a follow up article on this but basically:
Seeing as ATI's Unified architecture can be used to process either vertex or shader information this means less queueing for the processes to the GPU I/O. Although ATI have kept pretty schtum about their actual clock speeds/pipelines: we do know that the new modified pipelines can not only process this information but also manipulate and change it. This means that it can trim off the excess information that isn't needed and add more information on a per-pixel basis
Hopefully this will lead to GPU's being able to process data as well as create it's own data and manipulate the shader data sent to it
The added efficiency of DX10, combined with the supposidly faster and more efficient unified shader architecture will hopefully lead to game developers adding more into games in terms of graphical content such as cinematic effects and things like depth of field.
ATI and nVidia are keeping tight-lipped about their next-gen, so I think a lot of it is going to be "wait and see"

Hmm... Back again.
Sorry to ask this of you - because we're getting quite specific now and I don't know how many other forum readers will benefit from reading these questions but:
When you say it ran ‘pretty damn great’ with the X1950XTX what does that mean?
Were all the settings on max? (grass shadows and so on and so forth)
What are the rest of your system specifications and do you have any idea about how many fps you were getting in The Great Forest?
Yours truly,

Soz I've been ill and didn't see this. Imma move your post to a new thread so it doesn't get buried.
