DX10 for XP ?!?!
Hey guys
Stumbled across this while looking for some Crysis vids. Install DirectX 10 on Windows XP Do you think it would work ![]() I particularly don't care coz I'm using Vista anyway but it may be interesting to test out ![]() *shrugs*

I am testing it as we speak, I used the same installer. So far its ok, the only crash I had was with Assassin's Creed, and that was with its controller setup features.
EDIT: But I think it had nothing to do with the DX10 installer or DX10 in itself. |

I hope it actually works out...I'm sure the performance dedredation would be worse than Vista...but could be promising for at least messing around with if it works!

So far it does work. I noticed some minor visual differences in Assassin's Creed. I don't play Crysis, but I wouldn't be able to truly utilize it due to my video card. I doubt I can run Very High settings.
The Witcher looks very good with it, before with DX9 looked like utter crap. |

jR have you tried playing any older games DX9 with that patch installed? any problems?
i have a feeling that M$ will be implementing DX10 into a later Xp update just that it will take some time

Yeah, PVT, unfortunately the drivers for the 7 series cards will not extend DX10 to them.
I try my best, intel, I should try out a few more DX10 games. Is Rainbow Six:Vegas DX10 ready? EDIT: No problems at all with DX9. Although, Bioshock doesn't work at all. I should try installing it on rig 2 tonight and see if it just isnt a disc problem. |

You honestly can't figure out why Vista is more like XP than it is like Linux or MacOS? Ever noticed how programs run on both Vista and XP while they don't on Linux or MacOS? They must have something in common...

Surely the graphics drivers from nvidia/ati, etc would have to support it though?? The XP drivers arent going to have DirectX10 coding in them right?

As expected this is fake. It does let dxdiag show DX10, though nowhere in the filelist I can find DX10 files. So I downloaded the Cascades demo, and it doesn't start at all due to lacking DX10 files. Besides, during the installer I noticed some DX9 files being copied.
If there actually is a working version ever, I'm pretty sure every major site will tell you. |
