Yea, I saw that. I LMAO. DX10 is a joke. I'll stick to my consoles. (Man I can't wait for UT3 to be released!!!) At least Webslinger can relax now knowing that he WON'T need new hardware for DX10.1.
1. I will need new hardware to support directx 10.1 features. I won't need new hardware to run the games, but I didn't need new hardware to run any games anyway (it's not as though most games won't also run with directx 9 graphic cards). That's the point.

"So, although DirectX 10.1 will support current DirectX 10 graphics hardware, today's DirectX 10 hardware will not be able to support all of the features of DirectX 10.1, which includes incremental improvements to 3D rendering quality."
Consequently, unless some patch is made, currect Directx 10 hardware is obsolete already (many will argue "your hardware was obsolete when you bought it", but other graphics cards, I would argue, lasted longer before they could no longer support new features).
2. UT3 will look better on PCs that support directx 10 than on consoles.
3. UT3 console players are going to be running away in fear from good PC players that have Razer Deathadder (or similar mice).
