65nm vs 55nm is a moot point. The 8800GTX is 90nm and the HD2900XT 1GB (it's competitor) is 80nm. Size isn't always everything.

As for DX10.1, this could be a factor, much like it was with the X800's vs the 6800's. The reason I say "could" is because DX10.1 doesn't do much in terms of visuals, while DX9C did bring improvement(FP based HDR anyone?).

Like I said, I really hope AMD/ATi have fixed their AA issues here. They could really use a win here.

Not as short as one would think. DX10.1 is more-so updates for developers than consumers. If you look over the updates, you'll see what I mean. There's not really any changes what-so-ever that directly effect the customer themself, or the quality of the image. It merely just gives the developer more control over the card directly via the api, and adds better support for multiple gpus.
