Impact of Directx 10 on a graphics card

Hi,

I've just got a graphics card that supports Directx10. I've loaded up Far Cry 2 which has the option to toggle between Directx9 or 10. In theory, will setting it to Directx10 place a greater burden on my card, or make it easier to run?

Thanks for your help.

Ah, okay.

I wondered if would process things more efficiently. Silly notion really I guess!

Thanks

Far Cry 2 as tested by HardOCP gave better performance and visuals in DX10.

Crysis,CW and STALKER:CS on the other hand only worked well on DX10+high res+ AA+AF on SLI configurations needing 3 videocards. FC2 was defiantely dumbed down for the consoles.

Greater burden, will use more of your cards features.nutcrackr
