Any word on things to compete with the nvidia 7950?

[Boe]

I really like ATI but nVidia are good (each with pluses and minuses) I'm
waiting for directx 10 cards before I buy my next system. I have an ATI in
my current home computer (I support hundreds of systems though). I think
the nVidia 7950 is outrageously cheap compared to buying two comparable
cards. I'd like something like the 7950 in my next system but want it to
be DX10 enabled. There isn't much other than very very basic info on ATI
and nVidia's roadmap from what I've seen but then again I didn't even know
about the 7950 until about a month or two ago.

I really prefer good competition vs. being a fanboy so I'm hoping ATI gets
the crossfire to be as efficient as SLI. Since I haven't seen any
crossfire/SLI motherboards I'll have to choose which one I'll go with. I
need to build a new system soon and just use an old video card until I can
get a good DX10 unit.

If anyone has any detailed roadmap info and any info regarding ATI making
something comparable to the 7950 I would be very appreciative.

Thank you

i lost track when 3Dfx took the voodoo 1 (sli) and made two voodoo 1's into a voodoo 2 and
then put those
SLI. Then I almost had a voodoo 6, to replace my voodoo 5.

what ? history goes full circle. Guess I am waiting for vista and the new cards that WILL
support vista.

nothing on the market from anybody... just SLI and crossfire games for games. oh drat...
what to do.

You have a pretty similar system to me. I'd love to build a new one but
most of the parts I want don't exist. I'd like -
3GHz core 2 processor
DX10 capable 2 GPU next chip nvidia or ATI
X-FI2 PCI-Express Sound Card
500GB hybrid hard drive
