Correct me if Im wrong, but it seems that some newer games are either one or the other with NO DX10 in between...like DiRT 2 and Alien vs. Predator being either DX9 or DX11 only.
What happened to DX10? I mean, we never really saw many games that have true DX10 support and now that OMG! theres like 2 DX11 cards out lets say fuck all yall with your old ancient DX10 and lets do DX11 only! I mean, I just dont get it...the new AvP just played the demo and DX9 looks like shyte atmospherically where DX11 looks awesome from screen shots...what is DX11 doing exactly that couldnt be done on DX10?
I know theres not only 2 DX11 cards out there but Im sure DX11 counts for like .5% of the video cards out there, if not less, whereas DX10 is used wayyy more according to Steams hard ware reports. A lot of people said DX10 didnt take off well because of Vista, which being a Vista lover (using W7 now of course) I can still understand...but Windows 7 can use DX10 as well, so why not use it now?
I hate that a lot of game features I cant utilize because I dont have DX11...I have 2 x 4890'S which is more performance for ANY game out there at max settings, so its not like DX10 is all old slow hardware...I just dont get it...
