OK I think I might get the... GF 7600 ( http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s....html?NOV-76GT ) for now and the 1GB AM2 Mother board bundle.
Will that be adequate for until the Dx10 cards come out?

crytek (the people who made farcry) will be releasing crysis with dx10 although it will have dx9 support.
flight simulator 10 will have an upgrade to add dx10 goodies
halo 3 will be dx10 only

Maybe my eyes aren't good enough, but I though they looked very similar to the SM 3.0 screen shots. They do look good, but I'm not sure if they are that much better than the current generation of cards. Presumably even the newer games will support SM 3.0 at least for a another year or so.
Finally an improvement to game graphics that actually warrent a 'proper' hardware upgrade!
I think that this is the era that I remember being mentioned that all games would "look like your playing Shrek". And a Flight Simulator game that I can actually concieve people paying money for. :lol:
Some of those games though, look like they are more of the same as what we have now. Bloodgate: London [size=9px](or whatever)[/size], Company Of Heroes [size=9px](though a slightly nicer than Return to Castle Wolfinstien)[/size] and Halo 2 don't have that CG rendered movie look.
Of course I'm talking about the jump from what we now know as cutting edge PC game graphics to what these ones obviously are going to open our eyes to.

screenshots dont do crysis justice, you need to see a gameplay movie for it
I dont even have the latest nvidia drivers (I really should update those, I know) but those Company of Heroes shots do not look al that different from what I can see with my 6800GT.
Granted, those Crysis screenshots look very nice and I really can't wait to play it. But do I have my doubts about upgrading my videocard & OS once they becomes available, just to play it at DX10. If my current system does the job just as well (judging by CoH it does), I might just stick with what I have for at least another six months.
edit: tux is right. If you have the chance, go watch a few of those games at www.gametrailers.com. Crysis is definitely not one to miss.
Well, I'm afraid you will need to upgrade your videocard just to play in DX9 mode :lol: :twisted:
