Great deal for one of the best current RPGs out there. The thing that keeps DX from being the best RPG of all time(Which it has been declared by several reviewers) is that it runs 5x as well on a 3dfx card of the same power as an nvidia card. This was fixed in the first couple patches. Now that we have Gf3's that are 50x as powerful as the best 3dfx cards made, you will be fine playing the unpatched version. The point is moot, though, since the Game of the Year version is undoubtedly patched to work well in D3D.
