Indeed. I just discovered that my video card is completely outdated! This is so sad!

And now I'm stuck with it, because this new ATI card that is far superior to mine will not run DX10, so it's not worth the 400$. But that means I'll have to spend 5 months or so with an outdated vid-card! 5 months of FSX with crappy settings! 5 months with Medieval TW2 with ugly Shader 1.0!

Bleh. 400$ is too much for a temporary card that will need to be replaced by something that will cost 900$ or whatever. Is there an intermediate card out there? Something almost as good as SUBMAN's card, but cheaper than 400$ (ATI's new X1950 XTX) while still better than my pre-historic 9800?
