Do you have a DirectX 10 GPU?

Funerall · December 16th, 2008, 11:51 PM

I think I do. But I really wonder about if the game developers use the power of DX10 or not? There were two pictures on a magazine which shows the difference between DX10 and real life. There were great differences between them. But today I don't see a game using the power (or the ability) of DX10.

Maybe Crysis uses DX10, but if we want to play very well (I mean visual), the FPS rate falls down. This is not the gaming experience I was expecting.

BtW Call of Juarez was supporting DX10. If you didn't play it before, you should give a try...

Totally agree, I can't tell any difference between dx9 and dx10.

My cards play DX10 games rather well. Of course having 2 3870X2's in crossfire and OC'd helps too! But I can certainly tell the diference in games like Crysis and Bioshock. No need for me to upgrade untill DX11 cards with DX11 titles are floating around and that will be awhile.

My baby rules them all

and i cant wait to see the DX11 Graphics cards...

IModIntel · February 22nd, 2009, 12:17 AM

I'm surprised at how well my HD3850 is still keeping up pretty good. DX10 performance is ok, I'm not really planning to upgrade soon.

DX 10 gaming has been good for me so far.....Crysis, Stalker, Assassins Creed , all played at good frame rates no reason to change cards till DX11 games come out.

That's mainly because if they made a full DX10 (that is non DX9) game, there would be a plethora of XP users throwing virtual stones at developer.

Anyway, with DX11 on it's way, I'm not sure if we're ever going to see a full DX10 title.
