when will a direct x 10 game come out?

when will a direct x 10 game come out? i heard about flight sim being patched, will any others do this you think ? just curious . my rma refund just came through so im going to get my gf 8800 gts. man will i be poor for the new year lol. :?

I think Bioshock will be one of the first. Alan Wake is scheduled to come out soon too.

Company of Heros is also supposed to get a DX10 patch soon.

But who knows. Count on Flight Sim X to be the first DX10 game.

CANT WAIT FOR CRYSIS. MAN OH MAN. NOW ALL WE NEED IS A MODERN JEDI KNIGHT Game and quake wars to come out.

Anyone heard about that upcoming PC game, Armed Assault? Does it supports DX10? And Crysis, that game will be a long wait.

Yeah, Alan Wake will be the first game to require dual core. I read that the game will be running 5 threads on it's own. I assume one thread for AI, sound, physics, graphics and not sure about the last one.

I'm pretty sure all games for the next 2 years (at least) will be DX9/DX10 hybrids. Support for DX9 probably will not be dropped until MS publicly states it plans to roll out DX11 within a year or so. DX8.1 survived until this year.

To clarify, when MS thinks DX11 has been developed to the point where they can release it within a year, then DX9 support will begin to drop.

I'm guessing MS will not even announce DX11 until at least the middle of 2009.

Crysis is supposed to be INSANE!!! check out the trailers and look at the clarity of the game. its godly.

Halo has to be DX10, otherwise u wouldnt need Vista to play it.. and u do.
Moreover, they did create a lot of the game from scratch. The reason it took 3 years to get it to a PC isnt just that Microsoft wanted to raise Xbox sells.

Alan wake isnt going to need a dual core, and if u had a dual core it wouldnt have 5 threads, but only 2, or 4 with HT. Also, u dont need a core/thread for Sound.. it dosent take that much. And even if u did, most ppl buy sound cards anyway.
It is rumored that Alan Wake will be able to utilize a Quad-Core CPU, probably because Intel and AMD paid them to incorporate it, so that it wouldnt be COMPLETELY useless.

DX10 is NOT "coming out" for XP. DX10 will only be for Vista.

You can still play DX10 games in XP but you will not get the same eye candy as you will get playing it in Vista.

Halo 2 will release built on DirectX 9 (no DX 10 support), look here (scroll down about 1/4 of the way). Halos 1 and 2 were designed for the Xbox, through and through, a console which is DirectX 9 based. The first two Halos are thus DirectX 9 based. Recoding the second one to be DX 10 capable is not an investment of time or money Microsoft or Bungie (Halo's developer) are ready to make. I'm guessing the Vista exclusive release is to boost Vista sales. Sorry that I'm cynical, but it would be a good marketing strategy, and it's the only other reason why it would be Vista only (they could be trying to integrate Windows Live crap into multiplayer, but who really needs that?).

The xbox is directx 8
