I wonder if these will have any new features, or just higher performance. The Direct X spec isn't changing until Longhorn ships (maybe after,) so it doesn't seem like they'd be adding anything dramatically different than the current line. I'm sure they'll be extremely fast though. My 3800+ is going to have trouble feeding two 6800 GTs though, so I imagine CPU upgrades will be necessary to get a lot out of a 7800. Perhaps an FX-55 or something. I don't think having a dual-core CPU would help either, unless the game is made to use SMP.
