Had Vista since January and not had a single problem with it. Going to get a 8800 GTS soon to complete my move to DirectX 10.chessboxer1

DX10.1 has already said to be almost no improvement nor are games even worrying about having it in there.

It has already been stated that DX10.1 adds nothing graphically or performance wise.. Its for another purpose.. There was a whole other article on this.. You will still be able to runt eh game in DX10, infact there hasnt been a single game announced that will use DX10.1 because it adds nothing large tot he game.

Need a new card now. The new cards will be a rip off when they come out.

I believe DX10 cards are compatible with DX10.1 they just won't support all the features of DX10.1 such as incrementalimprovements to 3D rendering quality.

Yeah DX10 most certainly did.. DX10 did add alot of graphical effects, look up its comparison..

Im not planning to change to Vista soon, it has so much problems...i think ill wait a year or two...(so the H*** with MS)

BTW-why should anyone wait JUST for Crysis to upgrade?

Just bought an 8600 GTS OC'd today. Just gatta wait for it to arrive. And Vista is already loaded on my PC. I'm set in terms of everything else.EvanSkanes

You really need to get over your Vista woes.

Well, my laptop came with Vista and a dx10 card so I'm there. Bioshock looks great, can't really tell the difference between DX9 & 10 though.moocow21

It's not like anyone has a choice, DX 10 and Vista is the future whether you like it or not!

There are some image quality advantages with DX10 over DX9 http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/bioshock_directx10_performance/page4.asp

But yeah, still waiting on a game with dramatic DX10 improvements.

I can, in the shadows and lighting effects mostly. The water effects are more subtle but still look a little better.

Yhe only thing you see is more particles and that's it, don't try to make something it isn't BounceDK

Well actually guys you have to put in perspective.. Bioshock isnt a true DirectX 10 game, the majority of all the effects are tacked on from the port, just like Lost Planet.

I don't think anyone is being a fanboy here. My experience so far has been no where near the doom and gloom that people all over the internet have been saying about Vista. It's actually been quite pleasant.

According to the gamespot hardware guide you get 60 frames using Vista in DX10 and 65 using XP in DX9. Is that a huge difference for a better image quality? It can also be turned off if you want those frames back. Right now I am using XP at work and it looks so old compared to Vista. It was about time an upgrade came.

Dude, the only thing I'm trying to say is that there is an image quality improvement with DX10 (i.e. it looks better). For example, quoted from the article "In the images above you can see how the shadow of the woman and stroller are less blurry under DX10. The edges of shadows are much crisper actually!"

Personally, I can see the difference. If you don't see it, don't think it's worth it, don't like the reasons behind it, whatever...that's cool too, absolutely your choice.

You caught me, I'm lying. Ease off the caffiene, I have seen plenty of the comparison screen shots and you won't be able to tell the difference simply by viewing those IMHO. You have the see and play the game yourself or see a HD video of the two side by side. The shadows and lighting are much better in DX10.

I just got a new dell with Vista, I already have a vista laptop, and AMD 5600 2.8 GHZ dual processors. I'm getting a graphic card this weekend. I'm looking forward to PC gaming again. I like Vista, it runs well for me but I haven't tried any games yet.

just a note you can have directx 10 on xp you just have to download the software so you might want to make that as one of the choices and yes it does work, i play bioshock with directx 10 enabled on my xp computermoulsha
