"THQ has announced that the sequel to last year's Company of Heroes will be a DirectX 10 extravaganza.

The original CoH, acclaimed as one of the greatest RTS titles ever made, was a pretty good looking affair, with all the latest spangly DX9 effects that Nvidia's techs could help developer Relic muster up.

The game will be out in Q3 2007. The proprietary Essence Engine, developed in-house by Relic, will be upgraded to support a dynamic weather system and more realistic physics, as well as the graphical joys of Shader Model 4.0.

It's certainly one of the titles that owners of the GeForce 8800, and upcoming buyers of the Radeon 2900, should have on their radar. The number of titles that will be utilising all that hardware this year are looking slim, with Crysis still number one on the short list. Of course, since DirectX 10 is Windows Vista only, the availability of the sequel to one of the greatest games ever made exclusively on Windows Vista should sell Microsoft a few copies of its new OS or, at least, keep PirateBay busy for a while yet."

seem like it's DX10 only. damn nvidia pairing up with m$ to sell their stuff. if only piratebay can give free DX10 card to top torrent user lol...

TOH 27 is out ....

Nope, it is not DX 10 only. It will have both DX9 and 10. That site is really dumb, they should know that the next patch v1.6 will enable DX10 in COH before OF is released.

i do hope they release a beta version!

why like this huh?
i cant see shit

Posting your rig's specs might help. Most of the time people can't run the game because their rig is well below the minimum specs, their hardware is not supported or they never update their hardware drivers.

Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.40GHz
2GB of ram (where to check what kind of ram i have? the mhz thing)
Ati radeon 9200 series with 128mb

LOL! Radeon 9200?? i guess u better upgrade ur card to at least 7600GT or x1650XT.

You need at least a 9550XT to play this game.
