Age of Conan DirectX10 Vs DirectX9

[minkogkh]

whats the name of the song please?

[archolon]

It's a free song that comes with Vista, called One step beyond by Karsh Kale

[Vladimast]

catch is, in order to enjoy game on directx 10, you have to have bullshit vista. for xp users, i say wait for windows 7 to upgrade to dx10.

[archolon]

Or you can get Vista and have Dx10 and Dx11 when win7 comes out... Xp got hosed....

[SunshineS0ldier]

nice music

[rdavm]

Where to find DX10? And is there DX10 full out or is only a beta?

[archolon]

it's on the live servers now. As a test version.

All i noticed was more lighting.You tube videos are kind of bad for showing anything useful.Most everything i have seen so far is exactly doable in DX9,the difference is the headroom/limitations.I am not sure if Funcom actually brought the physics up to DX10 abilities or just opened up more graphics/lighting/shadows/effe­cts,because DX10 allows more.One of the videos i could see the hi res textures,but again do able in DX9.

DX10 is really awesome ! i have a friend that tryed Dx10 on test server and he has a really good comp, oh man it was beautiful !

[BladeAndSoul]

not much difference only nicer water effect more gimmery in the game and a little lighter it looks a little like r/l but direct x 9 is fine :)

[h3llborn617]

i have to agree with BladeAndSoul when i play game in dx9 then notice the dx 10 i click on it to see the difference nothing tbh only more depth of field better water quality *but that depends on the games company's software*

And the so called god rays that only DX10 can produce there is games with god rays in DX9 its maybe more complex to code via dx 9 than dx10 :P

[Paskatomten]

Its not, "Godrays" or volumetric light has nothing to do with DX10.

I did not see a single DX10 feature on any of the screenshots. Both uses DX9 shaders and the screenshot was taken on a place we don't get to see if it has instancing 2.0 or not. Only difference I could see was time of day, gamma and bloom effect. And that would explain why you see difference in the water reflections and not on everything else.
