im not about to spend an extra 200-300 for a 9700 when i can get the gf4 which performs like 75% as well for 1/4 the price.

but as of right now it looks like the gf4 will be it.

and btw who gives a shit about dx9 compatible, not a damn game that i know of can use it yet.

So this baby seal walks into a club.
