PC Gamers to Get a Taste of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition with Release of Playable Demo for Both Directx 9 and Directx 10 - PC News at GameSpot

Finally something that utilises those 8800 series cards :p
Hope we'll get to see some proper benchmarks for the hd2900xt running this sometime soon as the card is also releasing tomorrow.
 
Finally, we'll get to see what the actual differences between DX9 and 10 are. I foresee two possible outcomes. Either we will see little differences between the two or the DX9 variant will be deliberately dumbed down.
 
May 15th.... hmm intresting...
but isnt Halo 2 stated to be out May 22 so how can lost planet be the first purchasable DX 10 content

Yeah thats wat i think too..

Recently i saw this trailer of CRYIS MULTIPLAYER rendered on DX 9 ..

and frankly speaking there wasnt all that a difference in it as compared to DX 10...

U no taking into account all that HYPE!!!
 
Well at least this will be a good buying indidcator. I want to go for the 8600 GT but if the differance in performance is vast between it and 8800 I will wait for a price cut on the 8800. Unless Lost planet is as unoptimised as other Capcom legendary ports like RE4 and DMC3.

DX10 bring it on. :D

The real next gen is here.
