Company of heroes DX10 patch in two weeks

[thexfactor]

We've learnt that a game with great graphics - Company of Heroes - will get a DirectX 10 patch. Our informative sources confirmed that the patch comes on the 29th of May, so roughly in two weeks from now.

It is interesting that we have a rush of DirectX 10 benchmarks all of a sudden and it will be interesting to compare Nvidia's and ATI's DirectX 10 hardware under Vista.

The game looks awesome even in DirectX 9 and we can just imagine what it will look like with DirectX 10. You have to wait some two weeks for this demo, but we hope it will pay off.

on vista with 158.45 beta drivers and 1.40 patch installed avg fps=90

on vista with 158.45 beta drivers and 1.70 directx10 patch installed avg fps =22.8 and 28 without aa

Fraps and print screen dont yet work on directx10 ... but the effects are definately much more noticible that they were in lost planet
