Anyone running this game in DX10? I have been reading on the series of tubes that the the DX10 performance on this game is pretty abysmal, and I was wondering if anyone had had similar problems. I am upgrading from a 7600GT to an 8800GT soon, and I wanted to know if anyone with this card is getting crap performance, or if the benchmarks on the net aren't a great representation of the actual product.

mine runs fine on full settings

and I'm on a 3870 so you should be fine

as for graphics bugs... I get a lot of those, it's pretty annoying, so I'd say leave it for a while (they're actually ones that involve the lighting and leave you blind at times)

I was running it at 1440x900 with everything maxed, just walking around is fine but then getting into combat really started to slow down so i tuned it down to 1260x1024 and reduced some of the affects, cut my AA in half to only 4x, kept all my sun affects at high and now i've found the perfect balance, it never slows down in battle and still looks fantastic and the lighting affects are just stunning. I love this game!!!

im running 2 factory overclocked 8800gt in SLI, wonder if the game can be played at max at 1650x1080. with 45-60fps ? what would you guys think, or should i turn some of the things down in the game to reach that frame rate at that resolution?

I'm running it on one 8800gtx, q6600 with all the settings maxed out at 1440x900 getting a nice framerate so I think you could probably pull that off while still keeping above 40fps.

cool thanks, im sure it preforms better than the original stalker kinda like warhead preforms a little better than crysis... but i jsut wanted to make sure i could play it at High/max settings at 1680x1050 res at 50+ fps so thanks.

Some ppl have to be either exaggerating their "max settings" and DX10 claim, or running very low resolutions, or just can't tell they have 10fps. This game does scale well with multi-gpu setups as shown in another review, but DX10 + high res brings any single gpu card to its knees.
