Age of Conan

Game looks so much more correct as far as lighting and shadows go with DirectX 10 enabled. Not a whole lot of difference in areas that are open and bright in the first place, such as outside the walls of Tortage, but in the jungle preceding it; big difference.

The difference isn't as drastic as LOTRO's DX9 and DX10 differences though I don't think, but I credit that to Age of Conan in DX9 lookin' pretty good anyway.

So uh, not to spark any XP vs. Vista arguments, but anyone on the fence about whether or not Vista and DX10 are worth it and you have a DX10 capable card...it's worth it if you ask me.

NO ONE ASKED ME? FINE.

They just added the option to turn on DX10 in beta like less then a week ago, but after a disscussion on the beta forums pretty sure dx10 is not actually working though and wont be until release day.

Dx10 is not enabled yet. The option is in the settings, but it does nothing:

I believe the term is called "placebo effect".

Oh sh*t the game looks awesome and run nicely.

Yes, and it will look even better with dx10

DX10 is working...you can tell from the shadows...

I've enabled DX10 but maybe it's not active but I've noticed the images are alot more realistic in the jungle/forested area than in open beta with DX9.

If it isn't active, it should look even schweeter when it is active.
