I have finally decided to pull out the old Nvidia hd 7900 x2
They were good cards back in the day, but they are severely outdated.
After some research, my first natural choice was the Nvidia 275 which performed reasonably better than the Radeon 4890 in field tests

However... I am having second thoughts about going with the Nvidia 275 due to the launch of windows 7 and directX 11
From what I understand, only cards capable of running directX 10.1 will be supported by directX 11
(The Nvidia card is not, the Radeon is)
That being said, would it be a wise choice to buy the Nvidia 275 knowing that it will not be supported by directX 11?
