DX10 - How Far Have We Come?

MojoKid writes "When DirectX 10 was first introduced to the market by graphics manufacturers and subsequently supported by Windows Vista, it was generally understood that adoption by game developers was going to be more of a slow migration than a quick flip of a switch. That said, nearly a year later, the question is how far have we come? An article at the HotHardware site showcases many of the most popular DX10-capable game engines, like Bioshock , World In Conflict , Call of Juarez, Lost Planet, and Company of Heroes, and features current image quality comparisons versus DX9 modes with each. The article also details performance levels across many of the more popular graphics cards, from both the mid-range and high-end." PC Perspective has a similar look at DX10 performance.

Obviously...

since it is from Micro$oft, DX10 is such a failure, not only are games not going from DX9 to DX10, they are going from DX9 to DX8.

Re:DX9 looks better? or do the consumers vote?

I think that the "realism" isn't worth it. Go out and create DX7 games that are fun :P !! (or openGL games that don't require much extensions;)

Oh, come on, everyone will buy the PS3 because it has better graphics than the Wii .... um, hello?

All circles are octogonal, for large values of eight.

I use Vista on a daily basis and like it. What am I doing wrong?

Posting on Slashdot?
