Clearly 'plating' it safe
Typos aside, this sucks for the people who bought DX10 parts (8800s and the like) thinking they would run top of the range for the foreseeable future; now it looks like there will be DX10.1 parts with a load of extra features before the year is out.
I guess that's the price to be paid for keeping your rig up to date. At least those 8800s can manage DX9 games at a fair old pace.
