Re: DX10 for XP is this the answer??
For all that I know, this is utter shyte.
DX10 is for Vista, and compatible graphic cards. that's it.
Oh and btw. Only get directX from Microsoft ... They are the ones that develops it, and giving it away for free ....

The bloom implementation on DX9 is pretty much identical to that in DX10. In fact most features that were already implemented in DX9 remain unchanged for DX10. DX10 did make some changes to rendering and introduced SM4.0 but these really haven't been jumped on by developers as what they offer isn't vastly different from what we already have with DX9 and SM3.0.tonymadge wrote:yes Dan I agree I thougt I would just throw it in the pot and see what folk thought, I havea DX10 card but having read all the probs with DX10 in FSX I will stay with FS9....and DX9 who needs bloom etc unless you want to kill frame rates...
Bear in mind DX10 was always intended to be an interim release, the DX11 technical preview has already been released supporting SM5.0, hardware tessellation, improvements in multi-threaded support and a variety of other changes. In fact DX11 could be released as soon as the next few months and will be bundled with SP2 for VISTA and eventually Windows 7.

From what I saw when I looked into those DX10 for XP drivers they basically did what they said on tin but the group doing it had stopped development so any shortcomings in the implementation weren't going to be solved. Bare in mind the main reason MS don't supply DX10 drivers for XP is because they're trying to push the upgrade to Vista. Probably would have helped if DX10 was worth the hassle.

Very good point, and I think Vista was a flop because it had a very low adoption rate among corporate users.SkippyBing wrote:...Bare in mind the main reason MS don't supply DX10 drivers for XP is because they're trying to push the upgrade to Vista.
