Has anyone seen this?

http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce8.html

and do we know if it's any good for FSX??

It's the GeForce 8800. They claim it's DirectX 10. Well, they claim it's the world's first DirectX capable graphics card. I want to hear what you guys have to say about it. Who's going to have the first one?

I'll give it till at least May probably, allow Vista and Direct X 10 to settle down first and get some teething problems out the way

ATI will bring their DX10 card out, which is rumoured in a month or too. When ATIs cards arrive this could push sown prices of these Nvidia cards down. Graphics cards do seem to come down a fair bit after the initial rush. Also while I wait it allows me to read the reviews of people who rushed to buy one.
The GTS would be my prefered choice because the GTX version would be more power than I need.The GTX probably wont physically fit in some cases.
