Gaming Company of Heroes DX10 comparison

Isn't Fall Out 3 on the Oblivion engine (DX9 only)? The screen shots presented didn't look up to par. Not that graphics will be the main concern for Fall Out 3.

 

tru...fixed...

 

Meh, I still won't install Vista unless i really haveto do so.

Atm, my rig cant handle that anyways. So im going half Linux (Beryl is such a nice WM) and hope someone will crack DX10 to XP.

 

This isn't the last time we're going to look at Company of Heroes... we wanted to cover what we felt most people are pondering buying and if either of these cards aren't fast enough for you, there are faster cards out there that run this game faster.

 

so basically the differences are very small, hardly worth it at all IMO

plus your frame rates are cut in 3 at least, definitely not worth it

and as a final nail in the coffin, you have to use vista, no thanks Microsoft, your gonna have to do a lot better to get me using that pos operating system

 

i still think the game is limited CPU wise

i am dual booting XP and vista on my pc but as COH lets you run the game in DX9 and DX10 i was getting same FPS on same settings (wish thay fix the bug in changeing the video settings alot can make an Crash when running the test or playing the game but the Crash box is behind the game but that problem has allways been there)

been nice to be done on playable settings for DX9 and 10 (quite sure there are more Ultra settings there when i set it to dx10) as alot of the tests that have been done are unplayable or be jumpy and Wide screen monitors settings (max my monitor can do is 1600x1200 i think) i do some tests of my own but i did max the game out on my card looks good

 

Are they seriously listing enabling vsync by default as a major feature of the DirectX 10 version of the game? Oh deary, deary me.

I think DX10 will have a lot to show us and in the future will really come into its own, but right now it's just too juvinile to be actually useful. Maybe come 2008 things will start to look a bit more attractive.

 

It was a bug in 1.6.1 (and why we kept testing 1.5.0), as Vsync was intermittent and sometimes even turned itself on even when you'd requested for it to be turned off using -novsync in the command line.

 

Aye, up to 1.6 played ok. Once I'd put on 1.61 the game stopped loading properly! Patching to 1.7 fixed it though.

We had a look a while ago too... http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2007/05/18/lost_planet_dx10_impressions/1

 

What are you trying to say...
EDIT: People would already know about that one, that's why didn't link to it.

 

So.. you can have an image as a sig then?



edit: blast, my plan is foiled. Yet again.

 

That's not a sig, a sig is beneath the ----------------- line. That's just IMG tag

 

I'm saying nothing - it's a shameless plug for those that want to read what we thought about it.

 

Sort of, but it really doesn't take kindly to it.

 

It will be interesting to see how games perform from the bigger studios like Epic. I'll reserve judgement until there is a game built around the new API. Or more realistically in the near future, a game is produced in which the two API versions are given equal attention during development.

 

dude is that thing gonna start spinning soon or somthing, it seems to be moving around every post

 

Shouldn't be surprised in the least.

 

wow i am glad i kept my x1950xtx ! dx9 Cheesecake lol

i will get vista and the second or third generation of dx10 cards tbh.

as some one said earlier, its amazing that anyone thought that 8800gtx could play dx10 adequately.

wait for the 2nd line of cards.

we all know that the 8800 series is great in dx9 though

great article
