One thing that has been troubling me of late is the fact that Vista just didn't work for me due to several issues and problems with drivers and so on. I decided to go back to XP 32-bit for the time being, but the thought of not playing in DX10 kind of bothers me. I really want to get the full experience while playing, but at this time it doesn't seem to work out. So in order to put my mind at ease, can anyone honestly say that the difference between DX9 and 10 is that great? How much graphical extravagance will i miss out on? As i understand it, DX10 will not be implemented at the start anyways... On the upside i guess is the fact that XP is better suited (?) for games or is this just a rumor? |

DIrectx 10 support is in retail version from game. Shader model 4.0 if game support that in Directx 10 mode, game gonna look sweet. |

I wouldn't bother switching for DX10 at the moment. I am on Vista and I run everything using DX9. Either games have not utilized DX10 to the fullest yet, or DX10 still needs more work, but I typically have lower performance and graphical quality when running on DX10. XP should be more stable than Vista, however I have gotten great stability on Vista with the OB, as well as on XP. Once a game shows me better performance or significantly superior graphical quality using DX10, I will consider using it. Until then, its DX9 all the way. Cheers, Riker99 |

The difference between DX9 and DX10 isnt even noticable OP. Dont worry about it. Probably just a way to try and boost Vista sells by only making DX10 available with it, and for people like you who think it's going to be revolutionary or something. But really... not much difference |
