Great article! The rollover images really showed off the DX10/9 difference.

Great simple article and the changing image on mouse over was nice. I hate having to click all the time ;)

That was a good, quick article to show off some differences. I'm still holding out hope for DX10 to somehow work in XP. I've been looking forward to Conan for a while now, but I don't want Vista...

Anyway, thanks!

Wow, just WOW (not WoW

)!!! Looks amazing, though it took me a minute to realize I had to roll over the pics

. Hope they get everything straighted out in Vista soon so I can take full advantage of my 8800!

WOW - maybe even though the new 8 series cards are only up to the 7 series benchmarks, they might be worth the money just for that!

I would wait till it is released though, since maybe they will include a REAL dx10 game for free then ;)

Even when the new ATI HD 2900 XT and all the HD 2000 Series cards come out they will be without a DX10 game title!

The difference between DX9/10 seems pretty impressive

The forest in the last screenshot is awesome.

I am impressed!
So basically in any other cards it will be rendered by the CPU ?
or not visible at all?

Well this is the game that I'm installing Vista for and buying a DX10 card for...

I won't really "upgrade" both my systems. But I'm the the process of building a whole new system. I may sell most of the parts out of one system to bankroll the graphics card purchase.

The parts that are scheduled to arrive tomorrow are the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. Then in a couple more weeks I'll buy either some R600 variant, or an 8800GTX. I've already signed up for AoC beta.
