directx 10 for XP

Post by **computathug** » 29 May 2008, 12:01

A few weeks ago i remember reading a post about weather someone should use vista and directx 10 or XP and directx 9 for there gaming.

Well i could have dug up the old post but dont see any point in that so for any one who who wants you can take a look here.

i will also upload a tut on this once i have had time to test it myself but i dont find to play games and havent a single one installed on any of my systems although i built this one im on now for that reason

So if any one else tries this before me successfully then please post here for other gamers that are interested

I've been using DirectX 10 on XP for quite a long time now. It works just fine. However, there isn't that much difference... I didn't notice any.

I was pessimistic that it would work... especially cause it's a pirated one. Whaddya know?

well, DX10 makes a difference, but not many games utilize DX10 yet (Crysis does for example)...and if you have a good system the games will also look good with DX9, you will only see the difference if you have the opportunity to compare DX9 and DX10 directly.
here are some screenshots from Crysis where you can compare:
