A lot of overtime for AIBs/distributors...That whould be a litle stupid because they are losing lot of market just because they don´t have DX_10.1 suport/sticker in the box.
Sure, but why not this time, when NV was in past usual in front of supporting latest D3D features?So take your conclusions. Things should be very clear since day one, not like that way.
And there is still this slide, which states D3D10.1 is supported:

All a bit strange...
But D3D10.1 would be the final advantage against same priced RV670-SKUs.Its possible that they didnt support dx10.1 in 8800GT now its becuase it will affected the marketing of GTX and Ultra.
