- The DX11 runtime works with Vista SP2 as well as Server 2008 SP2.

"'..the 5870 received was 'as we expected'.' So why the cards are in such a short supply?"
- Because the production lines aren't capable of meeting the demand. Would you rather wait for the release until after X-mas, just to have a huge amount of cards ready at the release? In my opinion ATI did the right thing the way these cards are being released.

when he "revealed that the "tremendous response" the 5870 received was "as we expected"". So why the cards are in such a short supply? Newegg has more "out-of-stock" days than "in-stock" for the line.

The only game I can think of is Dirt2. There are some on the horizon though.

Mind board or ability to display just with Integrated Graphics. 3D Maps Is Cool. Cards Are For Entire Set Up, Game of highest order. In sense its justice for those buying Vista thinking Dx11 & finding its future thang, Now All you Need Is Game. like 890 Main Integrated, If its LightRail with COOL Cooling Fins, about time for pci-e 3.0 or BETTER, One 32X Slot.

Is there a DX11 game out there worth buying?

The big deal about Win7 is mostly with the OEM that make up a large percentage of any GPU companies profits. In order for a retail unit to have the "Designed for Windows 7" logo, it must be DX11 capable. That means a lot of lost business for Nvidia until they get a DX11 part. Early adopters and tech junkies like myself may sell cards but we represent a small portion at the bottom line.

Maybe someone could answer me this as I don't have time for Google for a few hours. I thought DX11 on Vista wasn't officially supported and a workaround was needed. If so, then the average folks out there not willing or capable of doing the workaround would also make Win7 a plus for ATI.

Just some thoughts

"He also managed to mention a new 5 series feature known as Eyefinity, which allows ATI cards to support up to three high resolution monitors at once."

He managed to, did he? Must have been a real effort for him!

"... early adopters of Windows 7 pick up the only DirectX 11 compatible cards ... to take advantage of the exclusive features available."

DX11 is also available for Vista, so it's not only the Win7 users that are interested in the new features of DX11.
