DirectX 10: We care about gamers
dmcfarland:
It sounds like M$ is trying to force people out, and make them upgrade or do something that isnt nessacary in the practical sense.
I dont think M$ is going to be punched in the gut. Theyre probably end up getting kicked in the ass.

I think they'll get a large bunch of gamers upgrading.
It's a smart move by Microsoft.
There are too many smart moves Microsoft can make in their position.

You know I can't even run Battlefield 2 on my graphics card (GeForce 4Ti) ... this means I won't be able to run pretty much any new games that come out ... I say game console is a better choice ...
@ piratePenguin ... you're probably right, every move M$ makes is calculated to produce the most profit in the end ... if I want to run new games I'll need to both upgrade to DirectX 10 and buy a new video card ... that ain't gonna happen, I've played by their rules for too long ... it ends with the PS3 ...
oh, and ATI r580 sucks dick ! I never consider the specs of an ATI card they are meaningless to me ... considering the defective piece of shit cards they sold me in the past. I swore I'd never buy ATI again ... ever !

Wait... are you serious? Do you mean the 4Ti doesn't have enough power for BF2 or that the drivers won't support it?

a Ti4800 is an OLD card. It did have alot of juice in it, but nevertheless it's still old. It was the top of the line directx8 card (final in it's generation too) It's not cut out for dx9 games, but will run some in dx8/8.1 mode. It physically won't do dx9. It's also a pixel shader 1.3 card (out dated)... it physically can't handle everything in BF2 and newer games.
