It might be worth waiting a bit but I gota say that Bioshock looks and
plays very nice on this card with all the options cranked and if I'm
not mistaken its a DX10 game. I think some of the current gen of DX10
cards are pretty damn good. I've heard about an API update to DX10 but
its only going to add small features.
