Vista sucks! I have tried a lot of games on my computer and most of them don't work. Bill Gates can come and shove Vista up his *** because it blows my balls!!!!If all your gonna do is come on this forum and use that kind of language then you can leave through the door that you entered. This is a civilized place for ppl to get help and help others with Vista and other things. If you wanna MS hate then go find yourself a forum for that.

| Im playing Farcry, I have an ATI radeon X850 256 Card and wioth the DX10 it looks stunning, no issues at all so far ...
Incidentaly if playing Battlefield 2 you need to run Punkbuster in Admin mode or you cant play Multiplayer on a lot of servers ... apart from that it too runs ok |

| Ash; This is a stupid question. But how do you make it run underDX10? GRAW just outright ignores it and so does oblivion.

| | Erm, it won't actually, ATI have yet to produce a DX10 capable card. Without a Nvidia 8800 or lessor 8XXX series GPU it runs in DX9 as does everything else so far. Just think if you ever get a DX10 card how much better it will look then. Vista uses DX10 as it's native API for graphics but the program instructions must be coded to use DX10 shaders fully, if a card other than a DX10 GPU is used everything runs in a prior version of DX, each of which is fully backwards compliant with all previous engines so despite running DXDIAG to discover you have DX10 means absolutely nothing unless your hardware is up to it, which ATI isn't yet. Here is ATI's quoted boast for that card, Incredible 3-D gaming performance
PCI Express™ 16X technology with 16 parallel pixel pipeline utilization
256MB of DDR3 memory
256-bit quad-channel GDDR3 memory interface
Dual display support for simultaneous viewing on analog and high-definition digital monitors
Powerthrottling technology for cooler running temperature
Integrated SmartVision™ technology, providing high-definition gaming
Complete DirectX® 9.0 support
TV-out functionality
Only DX9 !

| | From all the reviews I've read thus far the 8600 seems decidedly lack luster, it's not as good as you might expect but it seems to perform better by comparison on newer more demanding games than on the likes of say FEAR or Quake 4, it's not near in pro rata performance wise with the comensurate ratio of shaders and pipelines for instance, despite being clocked higher thanks to using a smaller transistor imprint. Mind you even Nvidia are still not admitting they've got the drivers good enough yet even the 150 series (that was some jump in version numbers from 100 all the way to 150, wonder why ?).

| | Cant wait for the new HD 2900xtx that ati are making, rumoured to make the 8800 look outdated. Although personally I think the delay with the card is that the one they origninally made was no where near as good as the 8800, so they had to redesign a whole new card.
