We are just using the 8800 as an example. The entire 8 series Nvidia chipset lineup is DX10 compatible hardware. Good point, thanks!

Here soy, ill give you a chance to make it 1001, does the demo bioshock have that option and i have crysis, where is that option? I have the 32 bit vista right now, does that matter? im getting the 64 bit tomorrow so 32 will be a thing of the past.

EDIT: Well soy logged off so can someone answere this question? Do you have to have 64 bit and where is the option in crysis for dx10?

BioShock was the first DX10 game to hit the market; I am assuming that due to being an early release and the fact that it only has a few DX10 features (mainly in certain lighting effects) is why there is a switch. I am guessing Crysis automatically does DX10 stuff if it is available.

All Vista OS, 32 bit or 64, are DX10.

if you read my post, I said the 8000 series which includes 8500, 8600, and 8800 cards. If you are using Vista, you already have DX10 since it shipped with that.

If i remember right crysis does not have a 'switch' it will only allow the highest levels of graphic options if are able to use DX10... Like 'very high' is only available to vista/dx10 capable users, everyone else only sees up to 'high' or something like that.
