Ahh, misunderstanding/misreading. Thanks for the heads up yellowhello.

Yeah, but they just recently got the drivers partially fixed, hopefully it's just a matter of time (short time please?) before they shell out something that will make those cards perform decently in areas they're lacking at the moment. I think they're very good cards on the hardware side of things but the software just isn't following that trend.

I think I'm gonna wait for DX10 games before moving up from my X1900XT.

DX10 games are here already. I'm myself moving soon to whatever DX10 card seems like the best bang for the buck according to my budget. The HD2900Pro looks very promising, hopefully by the time it makes it to homeland the drivers are well tuned and it gets good notes everywhere on the web. :)

What DX10 games are there? All I know of is Company of Heroes had a patch. Crysis isn't out. Is Bioshock DX10?

Yep!
Bioshock has DX10 support.
I got a few from the top of my head; Call of Juarez, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, Lost Planet, there might be others out but I don't think there is.
Not out yet but coming very soon there's Unreal Tournament 3, Gears of War and Crysis too. :)

only gripe i can see is the absurd amount of power it needs. 8 pin power supply? lol
