Pixel Shader 3.0 in Upcoming RPGs
   

This is a bit off the beaten track for RPGDot but I thought a few readers might like to know some of the upcoming games we cover will have Pixel Shader 3.0 support...so you better start saving for that Geforce 6800 Ultra. According to <a href="http://www.actiontrip.com/rei/comments_news.phtml?id=041504_6" target="_blank">ActionTrip</a> and nVidia, VtM: Bloodlines, Grafan and STALKER will support the new Pixel Shaders.

I was hoping to wait till DirectX10 is released before upgrading my 2 year old GF4 Ti4600. Maybe I'll just wait till ATI releases their new card and then get a budget card with PS3.0 support.

We live in hope. I hope budget PS3.o isn't an oxymoron. Prices for cards can be ridiculous, needing new power supplies also. It could cost US$650 and a new power supply $?100 just to play a game that may suck. WIZ8 is my defence, a great game with graphics that never interfered and ran on most rigs.

As far as I know, ATI doesn't support Pixel Shader 3.0 in their upcoming R420-cards.

Ouch, no PS3.0 in the ATI R420 cards? I don't really like buying Nvidia cards after the Futuremark fiasco with the FX5600.

I am sure ATI will anounce a PS3.0 card soon. They are most likely waiting for the PCI Express to be released.
