didn't it come out sometime ago that this was a flawed design? Nvidia is mounting more gpus and not dealing with bottleneck issue or something like that. they're just upping the competition. I got out of keeping up with video cards a long time ago. it seems there's a new "bestest" card every 3 months or so.. just crap.

Safrguns used to run it, but it was never a news ping list.
He still has it on his homepage, but I'm not sure if he updates it anymore.

I'm not sure where you heard that. Putting more processors on a single chip is the general direction that the industry is moving nowadays.
They do release a lot more cards than they used to, though. Generally, I figure that it's worth upgrading every two generations. My current card is a 6600, so I'll probably get whatever 8000 sells for around $200.

By the way, has anybody else seen this
Gears of War trailer?
Definitely a different tone than any other video game advertisements I've seen.

There have been a lot of remixed videos posted at Xbox360fanboy.com with new music added.

I'd like to play around with Oblivion some more with higher graphics settings too. Of course, I've already dumped around 100 hours into it, but some of those environments really do look beautiful on max settings.

768 MB of memory! Wow. Whatever happened to the 512 cards? I'm not aware of any game that can actually take advantage of 512 megs, let along 768.
Will this card run direct x10?

Yep, this is going to be the first x10 video card on the market.
