Question DirectX10 - Will it be any good?


Seeing all these new games coming out for Windows Vista supporting the DirectX 10 feature..will it actually make the games look any better or perform well for that matter.

Yes! There are some incredible screenshots out there! Even of DX 9 games!

Everywhere you look there are incredible reasons to hold off upgrading until you can afford a dx10 card

Wow, that crysis pic in the first link...wow.
Shame, I can afford to get the new DirectX 10 but that'll mean getting a new motherboard might as well waited for a laptop with DirectX 10 instead of getting this one. Oh well...

Crysis kicks arse! its made by the peeps who did far cry and it use the cry engine (beffed up graphicaly ofcourse). Definantly a must have if you got the right specs.

Shadowrun and Halo 2 are on there way, but im not sure if they will use DX10?

Crysis makes me melt! The face models 'feel' like they have substance... actually living substance!

I know for a fact that Halo 2 will be the first game to use DirectX 10 but I'm not so sure about Shadowrun...I'll get back to you on that.
