    You mean true DX10 titles, not just DX9 built games with DX10 added as an afterthought? My guess is two years and we'll see a handfull of decent true DX10 titles, and current DX10 hardware probably wont cut it, software will always default to the lowest common denominator except for a few select cases, and they will most likely be 360 Titles ported to the PC.

    I'd say you'll be in the clear for at least a couple years
