- "Compatible with Microsoft upcoming Vista operating system". Does that mean they're Directx10 cards or is it just marketing fluff?

- marketing fluff . . Dell is doing the same thing right now, and actually puts under the windows xp badge "Windows Vista Capable"
just dx9, not dx10.

- By the way, it says 10 bit because you don't need the alpha colour bits when you draw the pixels onto the screen -- the alpha values have been taken into consideration already, and the correct colour values have been resolved. The remaining 6 bits (in 16 bit) are used for these alpha bits internally.

- This is more of an ad for ATI than anything else, it's not news. There's nothing new here, it's just a few varients of the same cards.
Three new Radeon cards, announced on Wednesday, offer the quality of ATI’s higher-end cards including simultaneous high-dynamic range lighting and full screen anti-aliasing, but cost less then similar products, ATI said. The new X1300 XT costs US$89, the X1650 Pro will retail for $99 and the X1900XT will sell for $279.
The cards can display 1.07 billion colors when used with 10-bit displays.
ATI also introduced the Radeon X1950 series that offers very fast performance and high quality imaging, aimed at serious gamers. The cards will cost $449. The X1950 can render fast frame rates at high resolutions or maximise image quality settings for users of mainstream resolutions.
All of the new cards are supported by Catalyst, ATI software that offers gamers ongoing software updates for performance, stability and new features.
Compatible with Microsoft upcoming Vista operating system and capable of supporting high-definition formats, the cards are meant to improve images displayed on PCs from games, DVDs and photos. Both the new low-end and high-end cards are expected to ship on 14 September.
