Current DX10 Game support list?

Empire: Total War will definitely support DX10, probably the only game I'm going to buy for sure.

But I am waiting for the DX11 cards releasing spring, approx.

What makes you think that more games will support DX11? DX10 has been out for a bit over 2 years now and there's a total of 20 games that make use of it, and one removed it in a later patch.

Yeah, I can't see DX11 taking off anytime in the near future. I don't even think it would be worth it to buy the card for future proofing. Heck, by the time games use DX11 the card will be outdated.
 
Is Age of Conan DX10 yet? I know it was supposed to be but wasnt by the time I quit.

I wish DX10 caught on more. The difference between it and DX9 can be night and day.
 
There are not that many but that does not surprise me since there have been a lot less PC games made in the last year relative to years before.

That's sad actually. In my country people tend to search and buy more PC games. Consoles (the PS3 or XBOX 360) is very expensive and the games are priced much higher than the PC versions. 🙁
 
The bean counters determine when to make DX10 titles. With slow adoption to Vista, that means a majority of people are still on WinXP, and nobody would release a game for such a small fraction of userbase.

It's like DX10.1. How many people have the latest ATI card out of the entire population? 5% at most? Who would program for just 5% of the market when they can program for 100% of it?

Chicken an the egg. Nobody will buy the latest ATI card unless there are games for it, but nobody will program games for it unless theres more people with the ATI card. We seen that with PhysX card.

There will be a point where people will have DX10, with Windows 7 coming out, I'm sure with that and Vista, a majority will have either, then all games coming out will be DX10.
 
I just read through this (after a random user percentage of DirectX 10 users):

http://tech.yahoo.com/blog/null/39767

Although the article is a tad old but I wonder by how much the percentage of gamers who are using a DX 10 Graphics Card has increased from 2% as stated above in the write-up?
 
I don't think the DX10 card adoption is even the problem...people buy DX10 cards because they're also faster in DX9. Its the fact that only vista users can even use DX10.

Because DX11 hardware will probably run it alot faster.

By that chain of logic then you'd think that there would be more games out that support DX10 since DX10 cards will run those games faster. Fact is there's actually a fair amount of people out there that have DX10 capable cards (myself included) however they do not have Vista so that they can use DX10. Until there are more people that have an operating system that supports a new version of DirectX the software producers will continue to produce DX9 games until it is profitable for them to produce DX10 or DX11 games.

Wow not many.

Even that list is misleadingly large. In many of those games, the changes over DX9 are trivial (you can only tell by poring over screenshots, and it's often not clear whether one is actually better than the other), and the few games that actually have significant improvements in DX10 usually also bring massive performance drops over DX9.

Very true, however, I don't find myself a part of that majority.
