you mean your not sure? its pretty obvious isnt it?
on nvidias recent roadmaps gt200 is a q1 part, so there is no way they will have any dx11 part for christmas, ie in late november which is when shops and distries stock up for christmas.

even if it would be out by then, it certainly wouldnt be 299$...

but that doesnt mean nvidia loses... they lose a lot of potential sales... but is it really that much? what games do you need a faster card than a 285 for these days? unless your on a 30" monitor that number can be counted on one hand, especially if you take into account games that might be interesting to play for one certain person, nobody is going to want to play all of those demanding games...

nobody needs or can make any use of dx11 for now and for the next couple of months, and even then itll be more like a patched on tech demo than really a notable diference...

what nvidia really needs is a cheaper gt200, they dont NEED dx11, and they dont need a monster perf gt300 chip... i hope nvidia realizes this as well and doesnt put all their efforts into gt300
