While DirectX 10 brings some great benefits to games, there are still only two cards on the market supporting DX10, Nvidia’s 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS, both quite expensive for the average hardware buyer. But Nvidia has new DX10 cards for all those with a tight budget. The two new cards, 8600 GT and 8600 Ultra, are both built using 80 nm technology and are going for $150 and $180, respectively.

The Ultra runs at 500 MHz with 512 MB RAM, while the GT runs at 350 MHz and has 256 MB RAM. This is certainly good news, since bother card offer great performance, at under the third of the price for at 8800 GTX, which goes for around $600 these days. The new graphics cards will be available in a few months, coinciding with the launch of ATI’s R600.
