Will directx9 cars run on vista? Will there be a huge decline in performance if you are running a directx9 card with Vista?
 
Now I could give a canned "search for it, there are plenty other threads about this" response, but I'm not like that and it would take me just as much time to type that than it would take for me to answer the question. :)

Yes, DX9 cards will work perfectly fine with Vista, you just won't be able to take advantage of DX10.
 
haha thanks. When I first posted this I was like "I bet there are TONS of other treads about this.." I'm at wor,k and I need to look like I am working, not searching the internet. Thanks.
 
The beta release last week was kick ass. I love this OS! Of the posts I have read on the release..none have reported issues due to their cards..I ran it on a 6600GT, X800XL, and a 7800GTX...all went well.
 
What cards are rated for DX10 (if any)? I am upgrading my system within the next week and would like a card that will last me for a few years and play Crysis well
 
there are no "dx10" vid cards out yet. Ati's r600 and nvidia's g80 will be the first.
As to when they are coming out ...i'm sure it would be safe to say..when vista ships.

do a search for all the rumours of ship dates and delays :)

I was just coming to troll for information about this as well.

Brent: You heard any rumors about possible street dates for DX10 hardware? I'm probably going to be building a new rig in a month or two, and would like to know how close to "just around the corner" we are?

Thanks--

 
I'm actually looking forward to see how much DX9 Cards will "stretch" their legs with vista :D
 
DX10 will be good, but how much good ? that we don't know. but seeing Next-gan games its alot of differences from DX9 performances.
 
The huge thing with D3D10 is the decrease in the overhead, not only will we see big increases with normal DX9 titles (which means vista will be very good from the get go, and the current and future DX9 released cards WILL take advantage of this) but with the introduction with D3D10 we should see a fairly big leap in what we should be able to enable in games.

I can't wait for the day I'll be able to enable certain effects in Crysis and UT2K7 when they patch Vista for D3D10!

Also i'm sure everyone wants to see who's architecture will win the battle when the DX10 cards are released, R600's unified architecture or G80's brute force?
 
What Trimlock said.

What I am pondering over is if only the Ultimate Ed. Vista will have the "gamer" features that MS mentioned a while back (update hardware without reinstall etc).

I'm thinking Home Premium is the way to go otherwise, I don't really want to drop $600AU on an OS.......
 
I installed RC1 of vista the other day and it was dog ass slow. Painfully slow.

Which is odd because I installed a Pre-Beta 2 version and it was alot faster for me. Just couldn't get all my drivers installed then.
 
Stupid question that my friends and I thought of BSing the other day...will there be (in the future, or with Vista) a desktop GUI that WILL be DX10 only?
