Is it better to run the game in d9 or d10?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Better particles (smoke, dust, explosions), better lighting, better shadows and object blur.
Some will say that there are no benefits (above), because in still images it doesn't look that much better, but in motion, in the middle of action, you'll never want to go back to DX9.
it brought worse performance even at the same settings. The main advantage is the object motionblur which makes the game look better in motion altoguh this to works in dx9 but its glitched on the aliens and nanosuit.
Particle effects are a little better, but it's not anything major and most people agree that unless you've got a monster rig the framerate cost isn't worth it. It's better to just use the .ini config tweaks out there to force "very high" settings in DX9 mode. That way you save 5-10 FPS just on virtue of not being in DX10.
The object blur is REALLY cool tho...Iantheone
Until you turn it up to the maximum level.
So, if you can run everything at very high without tweaking, are there any real benefits? I did, and it still seemed to frame dip a little occasionally, and I am running it on high end hardware. Is DX10 still not worth the investment for the current game technology?
it does look better. imo anyway. i have a dual boot system with vista 64 that i very rarely use because i dont like vista but i decided to use it last week and stuck crysis on and i definitely noticed a higher overall visual quality. and it still ran great with no performance drop

I noticed no difference in going from Vista to 7. There was nothing wrong with Vista 64.[QUOTE="painguy1"][QUOTE="Macutchi"]

I noticed no difference in going from Vista to 7. There was nothing wrong with Vista 64.rly? i noticed a HUGE!!!!!! difference. Before vista was taking 43% of my RAM. When i switched to "7" my ram usage went down to 29%

Performance wise, the benefits are mostly under the hood. Faster boot times, smaller resource usage etc. So to the average user they probably won't notice any difference between Vista and Win 7 unless Vista's resource usage was really choking their system.I noticed no difference in going from Vista to 7.

how much ram do you have 2G? because i have 3G right now idle on vista i'm only using 1G so 33%.[QUOTE="painguy1"][QUOTE="millerlight89"] I noticed no difference in going from Vista to 7. There was nothing wrong with Vista 64.DJ_Headshot

Probably need more ram in your system.[QUOTE="painguy1"][QUOTE="DJ_Headshot"] how much ram do you have 2G? because i have 3G right now idle on vista i'm only using 1G so 33%.millerlight89

Probably need more ram in your system.yeah i am planning to buy some more RAM once Nvidias 300 series is released. im going to get a new GPU aswell as 6GB of RAM.
