Windows Windows Vista will offer varying levels of functionality depending on what kind of video card you have. When you upgrade, will your PC be up to the challenge?

NVIDIA will be releasing their first DX 10 GPU this month. The main difference from DX 9 GPUs in relation to Vista (Aero) is mainly efficiency improvements -- preemption, memory management, full hardware acceleration of some elements that are only partially accelerated under DX 9 (Cleartype).

Thanx. I'm planning to buy a new computer and I will wait for the new nvidia DX10 card. (Maybe ATI will soon have one too, but I need good Linux support.)
