[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 429758, member: 21101"] Yes, the 8600GT supports DX10, just like the FX5200 supported DX9... With only 32 pipelines, 128-bit memory; completely lacking in pixel throughput, the 8600GT is pretty weak in terms of DX10 capability. In fact it struggles to keep up with the X1600, in many benchmarks actually falls short, in DX9 and OpenGL... so it's hardly going to run DX10 great. Honestly, I am not trying to put a downer on your new machine, I'd give my left nad to have one, but don't let anyone con you into thinking you'll be playing DX10 games under Vista at anything near a decent frame rate - you'll be disappointed.
