In the past two years we’ve been bombarded with marketing telling us that two is always better than one. In no other space was this truer than video cards. NVIDIA has had a huge push with their SLI graphics and ATI is coming on strong with CrossFire. The reality is that all that hype isn’t for nothing as in most cases two video cards can give you the power to play games at resolutions that we only dreamed of a few years ago. In that past year and a half we’ve seen the two major players in the graphics card landscape launch more products than ever before and because of that today we enjoy terrific performing cards all the way at the bargain price segment.

Today however take everything that we’ve seen and toss it aside. Forget your 7900 GTX’s and X1950XTX. What you see at the top of this page is, by far, the most powerful and most advanced consumer level graphics card ever.

For those that have been living under a rock the past year or wondering what the heck the big deal is, let me spell it out for you. The NVIDIA 8800 GTX is the first DirectX 10 capable video card on the market. DirectX 10 is not just another release of the same old, same old. It’s the start of the next generation of gaming and computer graphics. GPU’s are becoming so advanced that they are outpacing what the CPU can actually supply to it. DirectX 10 looks to relieve some of the CPU bottleneck as well as add advanced rendering features which will power the most impressive looking and immersive games that we have ever seen.
