organ_shifter Posted May 20, 2006 CID Share Posted May 20, 2006 DX10 will be a part of Vista. It will be the new standard in Direct 3D, graphics technology and Direct Sound. DX10 video cards will be required to take advantage of new features (i.e. SM 4.0). The DirectX 10 API will have completely new and faster dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and is supposed to run much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker9075 Posted May 20, 2006 CID Share Posted May 20, 2006 Anyone know if DX10 will run on XP? or is it going to be Vista only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAKside Posted May 20, 2006 CID Share Posted May 20, 2006 Vista only. One of the ONLY reasons to get Vista, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted May 22, 2006 CID Share Posted May 22, 2006 yeah.. vista only Which doesnt really make all that much sence.. Cause a majority of the people, including gamers, are going to stay on the XP platform for quite a while until all of the driver and hardware issues are resolved... Which means that all of the new graphic cards that support DX10.. are not going to be able to perform at full capacity... Kinda dumb..
