Complete DirectX 9.1 compliance along with a totally new architecture and image quality improvements are supposedly in store for the NV40. But that's not including the R420 factor. Next spring should prove to be very interesting.

Just to let you know - Every time someone mentions DirectX 9.1, I kill a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens. ;)

As long as you kill off the funny-looking kittens it's probably all right. ;)

OpenGL is alive in well with Quake 3 engine games, the upcoming Doom 3 engine, and stuff that isn't designed solely for Windows.

And there is no DirectX 9.1.

To the original poster: NV40 should have a paper launch in February or March, with availability a month later. There should be reviews appearing in ~2 months.
