Your right Mike Moody, sorry. And, as for it playing on directx 10… it’s the ultimate game!! But I recommend that you have a 512mb graphics card or higher in order to play it at its best (That goes for anyone who plays it) and as for directx 10… “Perfect”!

Please guys this is not a “Perfect World” forum. This is a forum for Direct X 10. Now if Perfect World is a DirectX 10 game then tell me something about how it does with DirectX 10 compared to Direct X 9. The subject is just how GREAT DirectX 10 is. It is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha Ha Ha, what a moron, Does anyone know the ratio of “Windows users to Linux users”? The last time PC Mag. posted it was like 95% Windows to 3% Linux and 2% other. Yea go ahead “Dagoth Pie” use something you got for FREE and try and tell the world your smarther than the rest of us. If you read my post on up the page, it has to do with people like you. Just cause you can’t afford something don’t knock me cause I can. I upgraded to a new computer with Vista and a good 8800GTS card. The world will keep going forward “where will you be”?
All operating systems have bugs in the first stages, ” remember XP service pack 1 and then service pack 2″? Every game that comes out has a Patch that follows and then another Patch till they get all the bugs out of them. Thats the way of life. I run Vista now and have no problems with it, all the new games work just fine on it and I get great FPS on all of them with GREAT views from DirectX 10. So stay where your at if thats what you want but for me I’m moving ahead with the best out there. Try flying Microsoft FSX in DX9 and then in DX10, you will see the difference. My machine runs it perfect with out of this world Graphics.

Direct X 10 is barely a reason to use Vista. Why would you use an operating system that has already had many bugs found and if it follows in the footsteps of all its predeccesors will probably never leave what some might call the “beta” stage of its development. How many games can you run without DX10 and even without windows? There isn’t really anything to make DX10 better just Micro$ofts standard backwards incompatibility. If you want a graphical alternative to Vista I’ve heard Linux Xgl has more graphical features than Vista. Is Vistas’ desktop a spinning cube? oh and also just to throw this in there, anyone know the virus ratio of Linux:Windows?

Well I stand by what I have said, My system is
1-Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0Ghz each
2-XFX GeForce 8800GTS
3-EVGA 680i Motherboard
4-2XwesternDigital 10,000 RPM Harddrives
and like I said I have no problem. I love Windows Vista and all the games that I play on it, Which include “Microsoft Flight Simulator X with Acceleration” “Crysis” “Call of Juarez” “Dirt” and many more older games. I did find out one thing with the 8800GTS you need to be running at a higher resolution like “1280×1024″ or “1600×1200″ and things will work better. You need to make sure you have your graphic card set up correct too. After doing this you will notice that the game looks better and feels better. I tried the lower resolutions and they just don’t work right.
So I can only say to you guys is get a better machine. That is if you want your games to work right.
But the big thing is don’t knock something just cause your computer will not run it right. It takes a little knowledge to make it right you just need to learn how to do this. Or you can stay in the Dark Age forever “your pick”. Me I like staying on the cutting edge.

Findell,

I absolutely agree with you. Got the same results with my games. My system lags slightly behind yours so the difference is even more obvious with the FPS decrease.

So until then, I’m sticking with DX 9 until then. Smoother FPS at full settings is better than choppy FPS at full settings.

I’ve also downgraded back to XP. Vista slow things down for me even with my new system.

Well then Mike Moody, I have Vista, I have Dx10 and let me tell you, it utterly sucks.

Yes it improves your graphics slightly, yes it allows you to use a whole new variety of rendering systems…. however, it just simply takes to many resources.

My system running on Dx 9 runs smooth like butter on anything I throw in it, on Dx10 certains games get their quality decreased ALOT. Meaning I have to turn down my settings to lower then what I had on Dx9.
This is ultimately stupid.

Now before you say anything about my system being cheap, allow me to retort.
My system:

Quad Core Processor 2.40Ghz each core
NVidia EVGA 8800 GTS graphics card
4Gb DDR3 team Elite RAM memory
Asus P5K-E motherboard
320Gb SATA hard drive

If this system loses it’s stability then I can’t even start to imagine with slightly older systems.

Also you gain nothing with this, on Dx9 this system runs CoD4 from 70 to 250FPS, on Dx10 with the same setting it runs on 10 to 65FPS with no notable graphical gain.
And I won’t even go into crysis, although it’s the benchmark of graphics, and it’s the game that most utilizes Dx10 the graphical gain isn’t that big also.
And the FPS drop from fifty to FIvE frames per second,with exactly the same settings. It is absolutely unforgivable.

(other games tested: Clive Barkers Jericho Dx9 50-150FPS, Dx10 2-10FPS; Unreal Tournament 3 Dx9 60-62FPS, Dx10 10-20FPS)

I think most of the ones that don’t like the difference is the ones that don’t have DX10. Most likely they can’t afford to buy it so they will make bad remarks about it. Me on the other hand have bought a New Computer with Vista and DX10 on it and I am very pleased with my decision. Oh and yes DX10 is much better that DX9 because I have looked at games both ways. I have the option to run some of my games both ways DX9 or DX10, and when in DX10 the games look a lot better. Better meaning ‘more and better looking grass’ ‘greater looking reflections”great smoke and steam”gives meaning to water’, could go on and on but you get the picture. So all you people that can’t afford to upgrade your computer don’t slam MINE cause I’ve got something you can’t afford. Just work some overtime and build you a New Computer, and don’t forget to load Vista and DX10. Thank You.

The fish gained an infection from dx10! This fish convinces me!
