I still can't get it!!! Why did the "brains" from Nvidia and ATI made this new DX10 cards with only 128-bit memory interface!! WHY

? The review only shows that for games the best is still and by the looks of it will remain the X1950PRO... and don't mind with DX10 games this cards aren't up for that kind of workload...

Wait for our Radeon HD 2400 review... It uses a 64-bit memory interface. Can you believe on that?

Because it's cheaper? I agree with you; it doesn't make much sense.

ATM there is no point buying anything less than an 8800 series or 2900 from ATI, the lower end cards even the 2600XT / 8600GTS cannot run DX10 at playable frame rates were talking getting anything from 6-12fps

the ATI cards are decisivly better than nvidias at running in dx10, where as nvidia are usually better at running dx9 than ATI.

so either: buy a 2900 or 8800 card, or just buy a nice high end dx9 series card.

ATI 2400XT!!! what's that

??? don't even think on buying this poor excuse of GC... spend your money on a X1950Pro or a nice high end 9.0c GC (ATI/NVIDIA) the one you like most... but one that's not very expensive... in that case go for a 8800 320MB or higher
