Recently I bought a HD4870 and my os is XP so obviously I don't have Dx10. So I'm kinda wondering that I should upgrade to Vista for DX10. Guys is it worth it? And erm just incase that I wanna try out before buying the original copy of the OS, does *ehem* version provides DX10 as well? Thanks in advance guys.

yep
it does
infact u dont even need the ori one xD
well the difference is noticable

upgrade to vista

gotta upgrade to vista lar

hmm.. for real... so you guys were saying that I can have DX10 even if i don't use the ori copy right?

tumpang ur thread,

can i download the windows vista update for dx10 from other computer, than send it to my vista pc, because my gaming rig doesnt have internet connection..or i must update it using internet?

u'll need internet to update...

the file u get from MS site is merely a downloader... it checks the DX version in the computer, then download wat's needed...

games should come with at least the DX version that they need in order to run...

Yes, *ahem* version of Vista also includes DX10. I however, would recommend that you use an original OS. Btw, did you know that you can install a hack, to allow DX10 to be installed into XP? All my XP have DirectX 10 even though I only game in Vista. (I installed DX10 into XP to stun-cawk my friends when he say only Vista got DX10.)

Btw, if your gaming rig is Vista, DX10 will be included automatically.

HD4870+DX10=

2X nVidia GTX280 + DX10.1 =

Woah tech dude.... mind teaching how to install to XP so that i could Stun-kawk my friends as well? :D

DX10 for XP.. right now.. still a hush-hush oni..
better go for Vista if ur rig can support it well

Frankly, there is very little difference between DX9 and DX10.

I'm wondering...how many games actually support DX10? Not a lot i think...got 20 titles??

For me it's the other way round..i dun care DX10. I just want VISTA in my PC.

There's standalone DirectX redistributable, which contains all updated files, but it's big in size, but you didn't have to have internet connection to install

Added on December 19, 2008, 12:03 pmSure there's aren't lot of games that actually support DX10. But those games are the big one. The hottest one. Not some lame game. So it's definitely worth it.

hehe

Oh 1 more thing, is it advisable that i install only Vista ? Not considering dual boot OS. But only vista. Can I still play those not-so-new-latest-high-end games? lol

i ve no problem running Red Alert 1 on Vista x64...

Please download install DX10 for Windows XP SP3 from here. Please download and install this as an add-on for your DX10. Hope, I've helped.

Yes, you should be able to run older games.

Not very interesting. Only game i have in the list is DMC4. Already completed. UAW is DX10??? That was fugly!! C&C 3 and RA3 looks way better even with DX9.

GOW looks good, but i can't say it's that much better than a typical DX9 game.....it's more the visual style is gritty.

I'm more interested to see what DX11 can bring. Frankly, DX10 was the most unexciting DX ever. By the time it's mature, it's already DX11 with Windows 7.

I think that's why some developer don't bother to support DX10.

Is there any difference between XP dx 10 and Vista dx 10? cuz im more likely to stick back with XP , its been working great for me.

XP doesn't have DX10 if i remembered correctly.

You will notice the difference when playing with DX10.
