I'm thinking of getting a 512mb ATI x1900 xtx, or perhaps a x1950xtx soon. I've seen info on those nice Nvidia 8 series, but I just know you can't get them for under $400 CAN. I just want to know if it is worth getting a direct x 9 card at this moment, or to wait for the direct x 10 cards to cheapen. Will the x1900/1950 work just as well with direct x 10 and use it to its potential(excluding the fact that they have lower specs than the Geforce 8s)?
 
the x1900xtx is a great card, though it gets beaten by the 8800gtx.. it's still a good buy. i'd go for it, i think directx9 cards can still play dx10 games just not nearly as well as dx10 cards can play them.. i may be mistaken, if i am, someone please correct me.
 
I wouldent, with a x1900xt, you wont be able to play any directx10 games, at least in directx10. Most if not all will be able to run in directx9 though. But i still think you should wait for the 8800gts to go down it price. It has about the same performance as the x1900xt, but its directx10, and has unified shaders.
