I came here to get something off my chest but I saw another DX10 demo when I was out.
1st - /Rant/ What's happening with patches? My new game wouldn't work so I clicked 'get updates.' The patch was over 200Mb in size! Did someone forget to pack one of the setup disks? /EndRant/
2nd - DX10. I had the chance to see the demo of a forthcoming release this afternoon. The graphics are superb but it's a bit jumpy (I'm being kind here.) That's on a quad core with two 8800GTXs. It's the 3rd DX10 game I've played and none of them are going to play smoothly on my PC with it's single 8800GTX from what I've seen. I play every DX9 title I have at 1600x1200 with everything turned up and they play well. The DX10 titles crawl at lower resolutions by comparison and don't look too good with low quality settings.
I remember the advertisements when I got my GPU - DX10 wallpaper more like, not quite what I expected. What do I need to play these games? A mainframe? I won't believe the hype next time. At least there are a bucket load of older titles going for a song.
That's another rant really isn't it, and nothing new... but really, what's available to play these games on, or is it a case of no-one knowing how to program DX10 yet?
