i was just wondering hearing all the problems with vista right now i dont know if i want to upgrade until a game i want calls for it is it worth getting vista for direct x 10 or will 9 get me by for another year plz post with more info on games that need vista or that need direct x 10 and why is direct x 10 so important because i keep hearing wait for direct x 10 comes out to buy any upgrades but the only thing isee with it is vista
I haven't heard of any DX10 only games. That would be suicide for developers since even if everyone upgrades to Vista (not likely) not everyone is willing to buy a new pricey, high end DX10 video card. For this reason I see games coming out in DX9 form with an alternate DX10 version (or maybe a patch for DX10).
That's mostly a marketing decision. No way is Halo 2 (runs on an XBox with a 700MHz CPU) powerful enough to bring a current gen video card to it's knees.....unless they're putting waaaaay more money into porting it than I think they are.
yup as someone else said.... xp will last you for time to come, it is absolute suicide to make a vista only game right now. It is most likely that the vast majority of new games will ba aimed at xp.... mainly cause when the games went into development it was with xp in mind. But if you want to get vista then most games will have a patch of some sorts to let them run in dx10
