Good shadow quality make the edges of shadow soft and smoothly fade out without damaging texture of game.This game support DX9 mode or DX10 mode and allows us to easily run it in DX9 mode or DX10 mode it is fairly simple to make performance and image quality changes and comparisons of those changes. The goals of this article are to see how GPUs scale in performance in this game both in DX9 and DX10 mode, and we are also going to examine image quality between DX9 and DX10 modes with the quality settings and other eye candy at its highest settings. Quite simply, we want to see what DX10 delivers in this early native DX10 title.

We are going to keep the in-game settings and resolution and AA/AF at the same levels and compare in an “Apples-to-Apples” manor. This is being done so that we can see how GPU performance scales. Then we will compare the highest-playable settings with an included table of all the video cards tested here comparing DX9 and DX10 performance. We will then dive into image quality comparisons.
One of the most exciting developments in Windows Vista is the groundbreaking graphics technology. Many of the newest Windows games will take full advantage of the next-generation graphics technology in Windows Vista called DirectX® 10. DirectX® 10 will provide an incredibly detailed experience for gamers of every type, and will enable game creators to increase a game's level of realism, enhancing details and complexity in gaming worlds, apply effects like dynamic lighting and weather, and much more.

While Windows Vista is fully compatible with games and hardware that use older versions of DirectX®, the new DirectX® 10 features are available with a DirectX® 10 compatible graphics card and games designed to take advantage of this new technology. Adding a DirectX® 10 card to a PC running Windows Vista is like turbo charging your gaming experience. Existing games (most of which were written using DirectX® 9) get world class performance, while unlocking the new generation of gaming graphics with DirectX® 10 optimized games.One of the most exciting developments in Windows Vista is the groundbreaking graphics technology.
