Turbine released a new DirectX 10 client for The Lord of the Rings Online so we took the newly DX10-enabled title around the block a few times to see how it performed. Those of you hoping for results that show superior DX10 performance might be disappointed. I believe the term “turd in the punchbowl” was actually used in this evaluation.
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTQxMywxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==looks like dx10 keeps dissapointing all gamers. not only that but the grfx cards out now are only capable of dx10, not dx10.1 which will debut with service pack 1 of vista... and the 15th of this month hardware from ati will have support for dx10.1 and be priced really nicely! 250 for a card thats as good as the high end hd2900xt (it will be called 3870 i belive).
