LMAO at the person who compared halo to Crysis. Direct x 10 is awesome but most people dont got $260 for a 8800 GTS let alone for the rest of the computer. Though I cant wait to build my new rig this November some people just cant afford it.

Errrmmm, ok, let's say I update my PC, which I only use for work and WoW. What kind of mind-blowing Direct X-10 games do I have to look forward to? I'm talking about games that are NOT going to be playable and pretty enough in Direct X 9.

Is this GGD or SW? I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked down with the responses it's been getting.

I love how PC gamers think they're superior to and more enlightened than console gamers. I hear as soon as you switch to PC gaming your head immediately swells to three times its normal size.

I also love when you put details about your "rig" in your sig. "6GB RAM, Alitron 99000 GPU, Homonad 456 CPU, Renegayd600GB hard drive". LMAO.

The people who believe DX10 is not worth it are short sighted to the point where they're considered blind. It's the same cycle of being cheap ("Oh, DX10 is too expensive right now", Key word buddy 'right now') and de'ja vu dumb (Yes, like we all rushed out and got DX7/DX8/DX9 cards when they were released. No we didn't).

So, what you're saying is it's not worth it right now.

What can I say? Maybe PC gamers are just fed up with all the people who honestly believed Halo was the first of its kind.

Maybe they're also fed up with the constant delusional fantasies that PC gaming "is going to die!". Which console enthusiasts have been trying to ram down their throats since the late 90s.

I also love when you put details about your "rig" in your sig. "6GB RAM, Alitron 99000 GPU, Homonad 456 CPU, Renegayd600GB hard drive". LMAO.

Are you saying that because PC gamers are dedicated tech enthusiasts they are somehow lame? By that token, a substantial number of car owners are geeks.

As for DX10, it really depends on the game its being used in. The Flight Simulator X comparisons are noticeably amazing and the differance between 9 and 10 is clear. However,none of the Crysis demos using DX10 have really impressed me anymore than the DX9 demos. I can honestly say I didn't see much to warrant its purchase and use for Crysis alone.

It's going to be a while until we see a variety of games optimised for DX10. You only need to look at Crysis to see the potential it has. Right now I don't think it's worth it, unless your current PCis in need of an upgrade anyway.

I've been stuck in the decision between PCI-Ex and AGP. Everyone keeps telling me to go PCI-Ex fully, but every now and then I hear some wacky rumor talking about some kind of "AGP-Ex" slot being developed. Meh, as long as my 7800 GS can handle Crysis, I imagine I won't have to fear its obsolescence for some time.
