In an upcoming article, HotHardware's Mike Lin will take a deep-dive look into the various performance profiles of graphics cards from both NVIDIA and AMD-ATI, with a view of Vista and Windows XP performance as well as image quality and rendering enhancements associated with DX10.

NVIDIA seems to have closed the gap a bit and we set out to explore this in some of the most exciting and new game engines on the market.
