how are users using DX10
along with windows xp
:/

Some might be using the hack Shiro. Honestly, I cannot tell a major difference between 9 and 10 versus my PC and Laptop, respectively. Then again, I am 1/2 blind as well

Hacks are placebo effect based,Steph
it only worked on the original Crysis because simply Crytek switched off some options that were AVAILABLE in DX9.0 anyway,for its deal with nVidia

but yeh,maybe they mean in general

wait,still doesn’t sound right :/

and no you are not blind,DX10.0 for the most part wasn’t used enough on the dev end,and wasn’t seen enough on the gamer end
also the cheapo DX10.0 supporting chipsets used in Laptops
don’t even render DX9.0 well enough ,let alone DX10.0
its all PR crap tbh

I have no idea what chipset my laptop is using for D10 but my nVIDIA 9650M GT makes everything lovely enough for me. It could be DX.0001 for all I care atm

lol,9650 M GT is not bad

oh i forgot one more high end game avator looks hot for pc

not sure what system specs are going to be, it might be cutting edge for pc.

The figures for XP and DX10 are XP systems running a DX10 compatible GPU, not XP systems actually running DX10, and since loads of gamers are still gaming on more advanced hardware running XP all makes sense to me

if only ppl would read before they post
