Direct X 10

Postby Mike.. » Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:51 pm

Where is it? I go to the MS link and I have to go around my elbow to get to my @#$ to get to it. I just want 10! >:(.

Any help with a direct link would be great. I want to see what Crysis looks like on my new rig :'(.

I have it maxed out everything in game but no Direct X 10 options...............

It comes as a part of Vista, so if you don't have Vista, you can't have DX10.  Also, in Crysis, DX10 settings are the "Very High" settings in the options (I think, that's how the demo worked).

If you have Vista Home Premium and above, you should have DX10 because Windows Aero requires it...Can someone confirm my statement? I've been proven wrong a fair few times :D

I have Vista Home Premium 64 bit. So, in theory, any game I have on my new rig that is DX 10 capable should run in DX 10, no set up required.......Correct?


If so......Crysis looks delicious at very high settings!!  ;D

If you want to check minimize Crysis while you are playing and it should say DX10 on the task bar.

I think the program has to be in Dx10 aswell so you cant run fs9 in Dx10, correct?

Correct, but you can still run it in DX9 without a problem, even if you have DX10.
