AMD putting finishing touches on R600 driver
AMD has a basic driver for it's R600 ready for action, though they definitely want to polish some things before releasing it. AMD knows that CrossFire and OpenGL performance are huge problems in Windows Vista, so AMD is working hard on tweaking these things. The R600 is confirmed to use an 80nm process, have a 512-bit memory controller, unified shader architecture, DX10 support, and enough performance to "make G80 run for its money." The launch is expected to take place in early February, though the launch date has been moved several times.

basically i just want a dx10 card now, whether it's an r600 or a revised to compete g80, yes people say its not worth it as nothing supports it yet, but this was also said about dx9 (i got a 9700pro back then and never regretted it)
