Games good for Win 7

Hi,

Having moved from Xp to Windows 7, can anyone recommend some games that I will see the greatest changes in due to the newer DX version.

Many thanks

Thanks Bledd, although just like life, some are better than others.

What recommendations does anyone have for a DX10 game which shows off the new features of DX10 ?

Many thanks
RB

Well, the water effects are better in Bioshock on DX10, as is the volumetric fog.

None of it is a quantum leap however and unless you are looking for these things during gamplay you'd probably miss them.

Aww, nuts.

I thought there were focusing type effects and lots of other eye candy which was meant to be better.

I am surprised by the small number of games on the link supplied by Bledd.

Oh well, maybe I'll try Crysis again.

Still finishing DOW II, Fallout 3 and Red Alert 3 but I guess there in nothing better for those games on Win 7.

Oh well.

Thanks all
RB

Nope, some games dont look any different in DX10, some have a MASSIVE performance drop, some have slight a gain in performance.
