The irony of Nvidia's finger-pointing, of course, is that until the unspecified release of its next-generation 3D cards, 100-percent of Nvidia's customers will miss out on DirectX 11, Windows 7's 3D graphics standard. We'd predict that DirectX 11 will become a far more important feature for gamers than DirectCompute. AMD and its DirectX 11-capable Radeon HD 5800-series may represent only 0.1-percent of the Steam DirectX 10 Systems respondent base at the moment (the Steam survey has no DirectX 11-category yet), but unlike Nvidia's still-absent DirectX 11 cards, at least AMD is on the board.
