So does this mean I'll need to buy a DXT10 card or can I still use my DXT9 card with the update :-?



Phil is better suited to answer this and can correct me if I am wrong, however in order to use DX10 and have its advantages you must have the following:

1. Windows Vista, which comes with DX10-10.1
2. A DX10 video card. Current cards are DX10, newer card cores will have DX10.1 ability

If you have a DX9 card you will still be flying fine but will not see or have any of the advantages DX10.x provides.


Unless I am mistaken, that
