Stalker dx10.1 patch out with game patch V1.5.06
Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2008 6:56 am
I just got word from ATI that Stalker now supports dx10.1 and apparently ATI make the game look better and run faster than dx10… If you are playing this game on a Radeon graphics card you'll want to download this patch to get better performance and more visuals thanks to DX10.1 coding.
