It must be imminent?

Or will all the initial G80 reviews only have DX9 benches? and then when VISTA launches will there be a part 2 of these reviews with DX10 scores? Granted we'd also need some DX10 titles available, or atleast a patch for 3DMARK 06

Wow present day benches could cater for 32 / 64 bit Operating systems, XP and or VISTA, DX9 and or DX10 plus Open GL, single core vs multicore test setups... Lots of combinations.

And I aim to pick up a few copies no later than the first week of December... after I get my two G80s of course. :)

Yes, most initial 8800GTS/8800GTX reviews will be done with XP/DX9, because of NDA restrictions, etc. But they will be followed up pretty quickly with official Vista/DX10 benches.

Vista build 5840 is the pre-RTM build

I would expect 5900? to be the RTM

:D

actually i'm really not all that concerned about Vista ATM .. i'd really like to take the G80 for a spin first on DX9.0 for quite sometime so when DX10 comes out i find out the difference. (performance advantage , IQ .. etc).

I didnt say its not tempting , but i'm more of a technical guy.
i want first to study the G80 performance under DX9.0 & only then make an informed comparsion with DX10.
i dont like to jump right into DX10 just now until i see what the G80 can truly do in DX9.0 so i can judge the DX10 importance afterwards.

This can hardly be RTM because Vista has just been delayed by a few days and the final build has not yet been determined.

Hahaha. I suppose, I heard January 07 as well but if you guys say there is a chance to get it this early..hmmm. I'll have to start looking around..

Apparently build 5480 is the RTM, and has been in testing for a few weeks.

So basically depends if any major bugs are found in it, if it becomes the RTM build or not :)

I was just joking with you :p.

But you'll see me jump on Vista as soon as it launches. When it comes to the latest software, i can never resist :D.

i have a feeling that vista is going to get puched back because it seems its new kernal protections are easily hacked.
