Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

.----
| ATI’s new products – the Radeon 3870 and 3850 – do support DirectX
| 10.1, but NVIDIA apparently has no plans to release a DirectX
| 10.1-capable GPU.
|
| ...
|
| So gamers have a difficult choice to make – go with NVIDIA and be
| restricted to DirectX 10, or travel the ATI path and get enhanced
| gaming visuals.

Like I said in another thread, ATi is increasingly the choice for
gamers, and this is just one of many reasons why. They were first
to bat with support for Compiz (GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap), and
again the first with a Free Software initiative (nVidia is on the
fence with that one).
Perhaps now even the *Windows* users will understand who the real
front-runner is, and why. That extra fps means nothing if there's
no support for your software.
