I am starting to build a new pc, with one or two 8800 ultras, as these are
directx 10 cards. Will i only be able to get directx 10 effects under Windows Vista. Thx LA |

Thx LA No, you will only get DX10 from Vista if you install THREE 8800 Ultras, not the one or two you suggest. Why does the phrase "more money than sense" snap to mind? Must be something I read...but where...hmmm. |

yes, dx10 support is only in vista, and almost certainly dx10 will not ever
be released for xp, to try force us all to change o/s. |

Thx LA Yes, 1: Only Vista has DX10 support 2: To get DX10 features, you will need a dx10 card, which the 8800 is, and, the game will need to be written to use the dx10 features. Not a lot of them out there yet, I don't think. -- Don |

Thx LA No, you will only get DX10 from Vista if you install THREE 8800 Ultras, not the one or two you suggest. Why cant you give sensible answers. I doubt your sincerity as to the question asked. It is generally known, especially to those who know the term "DirectX10", that Vista alone supports DX10. The person who drops the lingo in the same sentence as mentioning dropping close to $1,000 USD for optional items implies my follow up comment....oooh, here it comes again... Why does the phrase "more money than sense" snap to mind? Must be something I read...but where...hmmm. May be your just jealous of people with money... No, wealth concerns me less than intellectual honesty. In the future, make sure you ignore every answer I give you and only pay attention to DaveW's replies. He is very consistent. |

Hello, not to add fuel to the fire but I have better credit than sense and
have a fine system to show for it. But seriously the problem is that Vista SUCKS. As I said I have a pretty good comp and can't use it in Vista as the drivers are FUBAR. I went back to XP and I'll stay there until Feb next year at the soonest, but there isn't anything coming out in that time frame except maybe Conan, which is (from what I've read) to be released under DX9 and DX10 that I really want anyway. Well that's my .02. "Leigh-Anne" wrote in message ... I am starting to build a new pc, with one or two 8800 ultras, as these are directx 10 cards.

If you wish to use directX 9 or below go to the MS web site and download the
directX SDK file. This will enable you to use other than DirectX 10 programs. Regards Stick "Gary" wrote in message ...
