Very nice writeup indeed Kemp, you are to be commended on your interpretation and depth of understanding on the subject. I can't wait to see how DX10 cards perform under this new API. It's about time GPU manufacturers got together with M$ to really refine how well graphics cards issue primitives to graphics pipelines. Further, with a departure from the driver model of DirectX Graphics 9.0, and the addition of a scheduler and memory virtualisation system should see games delivered as we've never seen them before. These are exciting times :yumyum:

Hopefully that will allow them to be fully tested with Vista.

They are already being tested with Vista I would imagine

Yeah but MS could chuck a spanner in the works and change something at this stage. I think the business version of Vista is still due out before the end of the year though - shouldn't change significantly after that.
I think this might be the year for me to build a new rig. Conroe will be out and hopefully dropped in price a bit by then, DX10 cards and HDCP compliant monitors

Oh yes. Should be pretty damn sexy.
And what about...
Oblivion? What will this mean to the game that seems to be harassing X1K and 7900 users worldwide? I was very impressed by this site and your write-up on the gaming possibilities of tomorrow. During my research about how and when to invest in a new laptop able to run Oblivion perfectly I realized following: No rigs are capable of this at the moment.
Maybe some of you guys have something to say about what Vista, DirectX 10 and unified architecture GPU will make The Great Forest of Cyrodiil feel like. Because trying to figure that out on my own is about as useful as using badgers to brush my teeth.
I was one of the guys hoping the dual-cores would bring us a leap forward on the gaming but now people are slowly suggesting that nothing really happened.
Will unified architecture GPU be worth the wait? Winter time sure is a long way away and being a European citizen I realize that we sometimes have to wait that tiny bit extra which is just enough to make you watch movies with Richard Gere to replace your current misery with one more exaggerated.
Thanks in advance and sorry about this long question thats seems to have gotten out of hand.
PS: Just to avoid the uncontrollable hordes of insulted current Oblivion players who believe their version of Oblivion runs perfectly I’ll say something like: With perfect I mean staying above 35-40fps with everything at max, all effects in effect, preferably resolutions above 1280x768, and maybe even a couple of ‘Make Oblivion look better’ tweaks.
