ATI is still to release a native DirectX 10 video card. They have solutions for Vista like the mighty Radeon® X1950 but it' not a native direct X 10 graphics card. We wait eagerly some mid-end video cards for those who don't want extreme gaming at their feet.

The R600 series Radeon models will be screamers when they arrive. Performance reviews place them higher then either the 8600 and 8800 models. Gee I can't wait for that Radeon X2000 1,800mhz model.
