 Direct X 10
Direct X 10, any thoughts on it? Is it needed if you don't have any of the listed games or should we get it anyway?

Unnecessary unless the game requires DX10. Doesn't work on Windows XP. Get some.

Why the F*CK do they compare a DX10 image to Halo. Halo isn't even the latest dx9 game. That game is old. They should have just compared it to Crysis DX9. Deceiving bastards.

They like to stick to what people know...even if they're not PC gamers, advertising with Halo will bring some customers in the long run. That's my theory

Because Halo used DX9b, Crysis uses DX10 and they are making a comparison?

That is a terrible way to compare new tech.Why not just show screens of the same game using dx9 and dx10?

Microsoft markets is products to retards! This only increases sales because most chumps don't know what to look for in a comparison.

They did a long time ago when Hellgate: London came out. I believe it was the first game to offer gameplay in either DX9 or DX10 but the game has since died of tuberculosis due to having full blown AIDS.
DX10 was a lot better but only if you have better than average vid cards.
