Plus in DX10 the game runs a lot slower

and? when was the last video you had that ran the newer dx faster then the previouse one?

Yeah no doubt the point of dx10 is so that it would be more efficient than dx9. I'm just hoping that dx10 hasn't been optimized very well in Crysis yet because the performance is pretty disappointing. I noticed one thing you can't enable in dx9 is the "advanced" depth of field or the dof setting of 2 in the config file. When you enable that in the config file you get absolutely no depth of field. I guess that one is strictly limited to dx10.

I can see the fact that DX10 is still "new" and isn't very mature. From what I understood, DX10 was supposed to put out way better graphics than DX9 . . . but really, it's going to be another year or so when you'll see a noticeable difference. Also notice that we don't have very mature DX10 hardware.

See, I don't see a bit of difference from my DX9 version besides the sunrays and that's it. The lines are cleaner than mine but that's because you have a better card than I do.

Wtf I don't get it when people say this AT ALL. The lightning/textures/shading, overall rendering of the scene looks so much more real in DX10, its not just the water and lightrays. Here's some more comparison shots, but really you only need the demo to see the difference: http://www.deezygn.com/images/extern...son/index.html

After the ini tweaks the diff between DX9 and DX10 is no where near that extreme.

I think it is. People keep trying tell tell themselfs "there's no differce between DX9 and DX10" because they WANT to believe it, it feels more confortable to convince yourself that you're certainly not missing out anything in DX9, especially not with the tweaks. I don't know if we're in the same dimension here, but I can defientently see a good difference still. I know of several other people, including jAkUp that shares this point of view as well..

Guy you keep reading me all wrong I never said that their is not a difference between DX9 and DX10 because their obviously is! I have played them both so I know the differences!

However the ini tweaks for DX9 do infact bring it closer to how it looks in dx10. NOTE I DID NOT SAY THAT IT LOOKED IDENTICAL. DX10 OVER ALL STILL LOOKS BETTER.

I am getting ready to post some PICS back to back DX9 vs DX10 using the SAME SETTINGS SO YOU GUYS CAN PICK THEM APART TILL YOUR BLUE IN THE FACE! LOL.

I don't read you wrong. I just don't think we agree on how big the diff between the two modes are.

And BTW the difference between DX9 and DX10 is firstly not easy to put your finger on, it's an overall impression, that whole lightning on the scene and render of the graphics and secondly , and on the contrary to what most people think, easier to perceive in-motion rather than screenshots.

I guess I'll just have to wait to get a better GFX card and run the demo or game in DX10 to "see the difference". Even with those screens, DX10 is just brighter and has a few more bushes/plants on the hills (textures are a little better).
