I don't mean to be a nitpicker, but GF3 uses multisampling, not
supersampling.

For out of the box features, I totally agree.  Long term, the vertex
processing and expanded pixel processing features are far and away the
most important features.  Not so much because they make the card
attractive to purchase now - because it isn't - but because the
existence of the features will push the developer to make better
looking games.
