I certainly didn't mean to be offensive in sharing my 'opinion', however ill-founded it might have seemed to you...You've certainly put me in my place. I've edited my original post accordingly, so as not to confuse others.
Note that my original intent was to comment only upon the DX10.1 matter, as being of no consequence. I included fairly authoritative research/quotes regarding DX10.1 vis-a-vis current DX10-capable cards (8800 series).
My ill-advised additional assertion/opinion regarding the necessity (lack thereof) for a 9XXXX series card was, indeed, driven by my personal interest in a relatively few Simulations/Games, primarily SH4 [not yet 'upgraded' with any DX10 features] and the forthcoming "Storm of War: Battle of Britain" Flight Sim. I should have been more specific. (Incidentally, I had downloaded the Crysis demo, designed for DX10, and found it 'pretty' but of no interest whatsoever as I'm not into any FPS Games...still, for the few minutes I tried it out, it seemed to run quite well. Of course, I am not one to get into the "Mine is bigger than yours" debates about frame rates, etc.
