Just installed my 4870 and Vista ultimate 64 bit

I am so excited!!!!!!

Just got all my drivers and stuff sorted and now I am installing COD4 for some DX10 action.

I love this part of upgrading.

Well, to be honest DX10 (at least in COD4) isn't really that massive a leap above DX9 is it?

That being said, it was all silky smooth at maximum detail at a res of 1900 x 1200. I might have to go out and try Crysis, I am really not that interested in the gameplay though as I heard it was pants... just the graphics.

I cant decide what to do, I am currently scrapping together what I want for a pc and dont want to make any mistakes lol

Enjoy the new toys and system. COD will look very good but remember it is still a DX9 game that just happens to put alot of the DX10 games to shame.

COD4 is DX 10 afaik, it does look a fair bit better and the framerate is a far improved over my X1900 on this monitor.

just picked up crysis today, because you can't really justify new toys without a nice game to look at.

It's just dx9, though obviously it'll run under dx10 and vista, it's only using dx9 calls.

CoH is the dx10 game.

I run cod4 on winxp and graphics look fine to me, not sure what I am missing with dx10, tried Vista but I just prefer xp

I don't like Crysis much either, but a friend brought his round last night to try out with my 4870 (+ E6850, 4GB 1066 & Vista HP32 on a P5K-E).

The auto-setting was 'high' everything and I have to say the view was very impressive - especially the vegetation.
