DirectX 10 is exclusive to Windows Vista and is not slated to be supported by any other platform. This will ensure that the next-gen games will be available on Windows Vista before any other platform.

So how much better DirectX 10 is in comparison to DirectX 9, check these screenshots for blowing your mind

What graphics card do you need at minimum to get these effects?

512MB + right?

My friend here thinks his 512MB graphics wont be enough, they are... right?

[HingVista]

It doesn't matter whether it is 128MB or 512MB. That must be compatible with DirectX 10.

Btw, no DirectX 10 card is yet available in the market.

DAMN!!! DX9 is nothing Compared to DX10..

[Aqua Structure]

RAM is mostly irrelevant when it comes to graphics cards; the primary performance determinator is the power of the chip.

[cmkumar2k]

exactly it's the power of chip that how it renders with a better algorithm taking min resource or available resource.... tha DirectX 10 graphics are rocking... it's just near to real. gr8

The most important reason to buy Windows Vista

Is it just me, or are the graphics in Flight X on Direct X 9 also good?

[yanike]

AWESOME!!

Is it just me, or are the graphics in Flight X on Direct X 9 also good?

LOL! I think it's just you. Dx10 is waayyy better! Open up your eyes and look. The water waves, the sky, sun rays beaming on the mountain and mountain shading is awesome in 10.

Schedule a meeting with your eye doctor buddy.

that's nuts! it's as if we're controlling a HD TV or DVD or something...

...such a relief that i have 256MB memory graphics card...on my new PC...

I didnt say they looked better!

The ones on 9 look descent also....

Also, i think they should redo the eyes in that crysis screen, its too fake.

[WinMatrics]

This is it. All the best PCs (Portable Computers) in the markets will become like every time a new wave of next-gen hits, they will become PCs. (Pieces of Crap)

I bet all the prices are going to drop for the high end computers today when Vista comes out.

[Hemmer]

woah that is absolutly stunning! the water looks so realistic...

[endrit10]

Why do we need Consoles again?



EDIT: Wait, whats the next-gen version of OpenGL?

It might be better than X10...

...because some games are exclusive to consoles, and it's portable as well.

Endrit, who the f**k cares about OpenGL right now man. Well maybe some, but we are talking about DX10, not OpenGL.

[WinMatrics]

The only time I saw OpenGL was in my Display preferences.

Get ready to spend a lot more for a DirectX 10 card along with Windows Vista

[Hipgnosis]

Yeah I know. Once you see a DirectX video card before Vista comes out, buy it quick! The prices of video cards might rise when it comes out!

[-pepo]

^ They won't!

DirectX 10 cards won't come before Vista.
