GX 4XX series released

Yesterday, nVidia unveiled their new line of graphics cards. I don't anticipate many people will pick these up in the near future, except for those with a desire to be on the bleeding-edge of technology, who also happen to have between 350-500 USD laying around.

But these are the first DX11 cards nVidia has released, so that's exciting. I'd think that we'd start seeing a shift from developers to move from DX9.0c to DX 10 or 11, but Microsoft has shot themselves in the foot by keeping the hardware in their Xbox 360 compliant with DX 9.0c. The PS3 uses OpenGL, so I don't know what constraints a developer has placed on them with that API.

But I'd love to put one of these in my computer.
