Vista 64 query

[bloodline76]

I have just installed vista 64 as a dual boot and was wondering if I needed to do anything else to play games with DX10?

Ive installed my graphics card drivers and DirectX.

Another thing, my current setup is that I have all my games on a seperate drive. Could I just alter the shortcuts and still run them with Vista or do I need fresh installs on everything?

Thanks

You will have to fresh install everything had to do it myself

Steam seems to work ok. Should it? lol Just changed the short cuts to the drive and added.

Yeh steam is usually fine.

Know of any others that work?

The games I have on the computer are:

COD4
Crysis
Bioshock
Oblivion
Medievel 2 plus the new expansions (Whatever they are called)
PES08
Spiderman 3
FM08

Any of these games improve by using DX10 other than Crysis and bioshock?

Sorry to not be that helpful but i wouldn't say any games "improve" using DX10 as of yet, just if you've got really good eyes you might notice some nicer looking fog/particle effects and a significantly lower frame rate.

I have to say though if you notice it, Bioshock does have some nice water effects (though not when big daddies walk through the water which is a shame)

Well never mind. Have to look out for that fog lol

Have to upgrade eventually so might as well now.

Still have my lovely XP on dual lol
