I am curious as well like you but I hope that DX 10 or 10.1 does not get repeated all over again with ATI only implementing the specification and Nvidia not giving a damn about it. Also it would help if the developers took to the newer DX versions and had better implementations of their games. I think till to date only one of the more recent games proved to be more performance in DX 10 mode than in DX 9. All in all given the early promises by Microsoft and other game developers of how cool DX 10 would be it sure as heck was a disappointment. I am sure others will disagree but I call it as I see it...through performance. I guess I could think about it this way as well that DX 10 was only around for a relatively short period of time given how long DX 9 has been around. That time is a huge factor since it gave the developers a lot of time to really maximize and tweak the most out of the DX 9 codepath...the same advantage just simply did not exist for DX 10...and also the games had to be written to work on both DX 9 and DX 10 so that could have hurt DX 10 performance as well.... Bottomline I wish DX 11 the best of luck! » Login to reply to this  mr.wielder (1416)   Feb 17, 2009 - 12:29 pm OpenGL 3 ftw » Login to reply to this  suryad (46)   Feb 18, 2009 - 04:14 pm Is that really true though? I dont believe that is a true statement at all. » Login to reply to this  Yoshi (2319)   Feb 16, 2009 - 09:56 pm Basicly Vista has emulation of everything before DX10 which of course is going to be slower. This level is normally where we see sound and mouse and keyboard support. Then on top of the emulator running you are running the DX10 engine for graphic effects. If a game was really made for just a Vista system we would see the full use of DX10 and a noticable preformance gain. » Login to reply to this
