| Entroper said: That's all well and good, but the point of buying a high end graphics card is to enjoy games. If DX10 doesn't do much in the way of making games look better or run faster, then DX10 (or 10.1) compliance is not a big selling point for a graphics card, which is what we're talking about. Even a "DX9 card" will run fine in Vista with DX10 installed, it just won't support Shader Model 4 and a handful of other things. Shader Model 3 already nailed down most of the important bits anyway like looping and branching. |
It also doesn't help that things like the "very high" settings in the crysis demo can be enabled in xp by tweaking config files - forcing many to wonder "then what is directx 10 for?"
I like my 8800gt though. Directx 10 may be pointless, but the card rocks my dx9 games.
