Largely the main difference is quite subtle, for example in DX10, water dynamically ripples as an enemy walks through it, also the shadows look better in DX10, otherwise you aren't missing much

Global Lighting is a much more inaccurate means of doing dynamic lighting, turn it on if you need the fps.
