All the cards will have Direct X10, but not Direct X 10.1.
But like Samoz83 states there is no point in supporting 10.1 right now.. (Only fixes are calculations for floating points, etc).

Either way, I don't know why graphic cards are now costing the same as a new computer... I mean are they trying to compete with gas prices or something? lol

Well, these cards are for PROFESSIONALS these are not for gaming, these cards are often used in Silicon Graphics workstations and other development machines.

Check ATI Radeon X2000 series for Direct X10 gaming cards.

nvidia has their quadro fx dx10 cards out. Those things look interesting. I also think the nvidia tesla supports dx10 on some levels.

That cost $1000 more than my PC. If I buy that, it would be one of the most valueble things I own.
