Many users agree that only the latest Vista system supports dx10 and Windows XP cannot run dx10 games. This is Ms's official statement, but it is not true? The answer is no.
However, it was reported on the Internet that a simple method can be used to run the latest crysis game in the WINXP system and obtain the same picture quality as dx10.
In the crysis-online forum, a user named lennyrhys said, simply copy the text in the "very hight" section of the configuration file under the cvargroups directory to the "high" section, you can only select the high setting in DX9, however, you will get the quality of very high settings under dx10, with more realistic shadows, better reflective effects on leaves, clearer textures, and more colorful colors.
Netizens have proved this method feasible. A netizen named club heaven said:
"I can also prove that the (method) is effective. After the change, the image quality is greatly improved, and the frame speed decreases significantly. Each dx10 has an effect, and the game is even faster than Vista. Through some configuration optimization, you can achieve a good picture quality/speed balance, I doubt why we need dx10 and Vista?
Therefore, crytek simply shields very high settings under xp. This is obviously what he and his friends in the industry want us to buy Vista and the high-priced 8800gtx, which is absolutely annoying. This lame trick has hurt my trust in the respected company. "
The astonishing discovery of crysis once again embarrassed Microsoft and their partners, who had been dissatisfied with Ms's integration of dx10 in Vista. However, the market acceptance of Vista has not been high, and some OEMs have even re-installed XP. The "crysis" incident even makes us believe that XP will still exist for a long time. We do not have to spend any money to upgrade dx10 hardware and operating systems, at least not yet.
It turns out that not Vista can support dx10 games, but XP is certainly acceptable. Interested users can study system information.
