For those of you who'd like to move to a DirectX 10 capable graphics card in the near future, but without the high price tag of an 8800 or R600 series card to worry about, NVIDIA are said to be working on some low end DX10 offerings for release sometime in the first quarter of next year.

Head over to RegHardware for more info.

Nvidia will bring its DirectX 10-compliant unified shader graphics chip architecture to the mid-range and entry-level market segments in Q1 2007. That's the timeframe for the company's G86 and G84 GPUs, Taiwanese graphics card maker moles have alleged.

So suggests a DigiTimes report which adds the two parts will sample in January or February next year.
