DX10 Explained in a user friendly format...

To find a cost effective way to make their next generation hardware a truly worthwhile prospect is the "rub" here. Is there a cost effective way to move to Vista or even Direct x 10 yet? I think not. Perhaps Microsoft should lighten the load and impliment directx 10 for xp.
 
Quoted from that artice :-

'It is clear from our tests that the current generation of DX10 hardware simply can't handle DX10 games.'

Just what Anandtech said, and why i got my card purely for Dx9, first generation is always going to be the poorest, im not even thinking about a Dx10 card until we have a fair few decent games using it.

Which will never happen so not worth worrying about it.

well that article is crap, because the current generation of DX10 hardware can handle DX10 games. bioshock runs very good in dx10. i agree dx9 is still abit faster. but new drivers will help to boost the dx10...
 
Thats because Bioshock doesn't use Dx10 much, better water splashes, and dust particles is hardly gona cripple your gfx card, if it did id be very worried. :D
 
Should be maded a sticky then if someone asks about dx10 and mid range cards let them read it, really does show mid range carda are crap for dx10 games at moment.

mid range carda are not crap for dx10 games... my 2600xt runs bioshock very well at max, between 40-60fps in dx10 on 1 card..

I class coj as the best yet show case for dx10 game as there is a lot bigger difference in dx9 and 10,not just water and smoke like in a lot of dx10 patched games.
 
I think if crysis doesnt show any real difference in screenshots between DX9 vs DX10, a lot of punters are gonna be DXMAD :)

Was hoping bioshock woulda had a large difference but sadly not, hopefully crysis/UT3 dont disapoint !
