Let's wait until Crysis, one of the first blockbusters that supposedly will take full advantage of DX10, is released and then we might see if DX10 is just a lot of MS-marketing-smoke or if it will really make a difference.
On the other hand, I don't really care for the following reasons:
- My iMac Core Duo and its ATI X1600 are not even two years old, but won't support DX10. And somehow I've gotten too old to buy new hardware just to use a Microsoft product...
- DX10 is a one-platform-only technology.
- It requires Vista, which is still buggy like hell, slow (compared to XP) and still incompatible to a lot of software. Geez, even STALKER won't run properly on it, and that's a new title.
