skinners Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 yep as a caveat - it has been said that what was said about winxp at first , kind of now applies to vista - i think this is the rationale behind the advice of the uk gaming magazines , to leave vista alone until its sorted out more - re patches etc if dx10 does remain vista only - and new games become dx10 only say in 2 years time - then we will have no choice but to install vista - and this is / was probably the grand microsoft long range plan / strategy - these guys are not exactly thick when it comes to money making schemes etc ! also bear in mind games development cycles tend to be 18 months to 2 years or longer !! True. Die hard gamers will have no choice but to get vista, but then "choice" is the key word here.

Troffmeister Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 well soon we will have no free choice once billie gates lets loose the microsoft mind control death ray upon us all in the form of vista sp1 patch you must and will obey the call to dx10 gaming and the aero g.u.i lol )
ED Team Groove Posted September 19, 2007 ED Team Posted September 19, 2007 Im using Vista for Dx10 games and XP for all other stuff ! Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
Troffmeister Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 so basically you are not using vista much then - becoz not many true dx10 games yet ! i think lost planet - call of juarez and maybe 1 or 2 more have patches which add a few extra fancy dx10 gfx options - but you could debate and argue what makes a true dx10 game ! ?? obviously 100% dx10 games are .and will be coming - no doubt ! i want to play that new Mercenaries game - set in venezuela - it tho i think is defo dx9 and probly dx10 enhanced )
