Do You Think DirectX 10 on XP is Possible? More Feedbacks

[IT]

---

I realize DX10 is a Vista exclusive. But it seems like report after report shows a game running on Vista takes a major performance hit compared to benchmarks for the same game on XP.

I've been holding off on building a new PC while all of the quirks associated with Vista get worked out. Now it's almost a year after launch and I'm still reading these same performance reports, and much of my hardware still has drivers for XP only. So I'm tired of waiting. I want to build a killer machine and just install XP on it.

Except I'll be building a machine that's already out of date due to the whole DX10 issue. So is it feasible someone will one day create a wrapper that somehow enables games on XP to use DX10? Or is this just an impossible dream and I should come back to reality?

So people don't use Vista because their mediocre hardware runs games on it like crap, but then you want to run DX10 which isn't native to XP ... on XP ... which in turn makes DX10 gaming on Vista run like crap.

The logic escapes me. If you are going to build a killer machine like you say, gaming on Vista is the way to go. People only complain about Vista gaming performance when they don't have the hardware to take advantage of it.

get Vista to futureproof yourself for gaming. after DX10 you dont need to keep installing DX9 and stuff. its not being taken advantage of now but it will probably be this year. look at crysis that came out too soon for the hardware to cope with today

d pa man mainstream ang DX10 and Vista, too early to adapt maybe.

I heard that its possible. It can work as a crysis hack for windows XP.

possible... but ms will probably make some preventions... usa ni sa mga butang maka pa switch sa taw sa vista... why push through it sa XP??

There's not been that much improvement graphics-quality wise with DX10.
