DX10 won't be comming on XP... Microsoft already announced.Zimmer wrote:
Yes it will work with XP fine. Just that Vista has already been integrated with DX10, so it will work BETTER with Vista. But you shouldn't worry about that.M.O.A.B wrote:
What's the difference between single and SLI? Also good info.
Also does DX10 work on XP at all, or do you definately need Vista.
Yeah...although a 550W might work.JaMrulezass wrote:
Are you sure that a single GTX needs 600+ watts?
I believe that later on the lower end models like the 8600gt and below will have an agp version but thats the last of the agp. I heard the 9 series will not support agp.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
Does anyone have any info on AGP DX10 cards?
A) It is the chips that control SLi. A 7950GX2 has 2 chips inside it, and you can "SLi" those 2 together, giving you quad SLi.Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:
When you think about it, you can't quad SLi 8800s. Each card takes up two slots.....and cases only support 7 PCI slots. You probably could put watercooling it, but that will just get stupid....
And does a X2900 really require that puch power? Damn.
And I have found reviews of 2900s beating 8800GTSs in tests, so don't dismiss ATI as a contender just yet.

Thanks for pointing that out!Mekstizzle wrote:
Your £ pricing for the GTX and Ultra says that they cost the same amount of £. I'm sure the Ultra is way more expensive (especially for us UK'ers) and also i've heard that the Ultra is more or less a total waste of money, so i don't think it should be recommended as much. But i'm not your hardcore gamer, i'm just saying what i've read.
Thanks. I think the situation is similar with ATI - i.e. there will lower-end 2x00 AGP boards, but this is likely to be the last we see of AGP from ATI, can anyone confirm/strengthen this?The#1Spot wrote:

And someone mentioned a 7600 where exactly?[HOF]Mercenary wrote:
DONT buy a 7600, all of them are plagued by problems
They didn't, but who cares cause they're still better than a couple of the cards you've got up there.leetkyle wrote:

Bullshit. The 7600GT is a great card.[HOF]Mercenary wrote:

ATI/AMD mentioned not so long ago they would not abaondon the AGP market any time soon, tbh I wouldnt be suprised to see 3*** ATI cards still supporting AGP, its to large a market share to ignore, and/or, ATI need as much of a market share as they can, if Nvidia wont support AGP, then thats some ground ATI can catch up on, tis what I would do.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Good point. And I hope ATI are thinking along the same lines as you.Bell wrote:

thats would be like trying to run DX on linux, it can be done but crappy, plus it will always look better on vista and work betterBertster7 wrote:

It may be possible to run DX10 content on XP at some point, but never officially.
Yes. Absolutely exactly like that. The only people I know of working on it are Wine, who did make a version of DX9 for Linux.[PTG]shogun wrote:
