Call of Juarez DX10 Performance and Image Quality - Call of Juarez enjoys a very large and noticeable visual difference in DirectX 10 versus DirectX 9. This is the first game to make us say “Wow!” at the visual quality improvements using DX10. We will explore GPU performance scaling and image quality comparisons using the 8800 Ultra, GTS, & 2900 XT.
Call of Juarez is a visually impressive game and entertaining title. Call of Juarez, in DX10 mode, places the gamer into some of the most immersive outdoor environments we have seen; even rivaling and sometimes surpassing Oblivion. The HDR, lighting, and high resolution textures in DX10 are what sets this game apart. The fact of the matter is that DX10 feature utilization by its creative team has made Call of Juarez a better game in that it places the gamer in a more believable environment. Those DX10 features combined with already engrossing gameplay simply make it a better game. Hopefully we will continue to see DX10 and its extensive feature set making such a positive impact on future titles.
