hi all

can windows xp 32bit or 64bit run with direct x 10?

If so let my known the procedure,or give me any link to download

NEED URGENT REPLAY
 
Short answer... NO!

There have been some independent projects trying to get DX10 working on XP, but as far as I remember, there hasn't been any definitive success for any. Basically, the way Vista's display driver/model works is way different than XP's and DX10 is major part of this new Driver Model (WDDM).

ok....then for direct x games we have to use vista or 7?

Window 7.... to be frank, there not a whole lot of difference between Win7 and Vista when it comes to gaming performance. But I would say Win7 is better choice as an overall OS. Plus you get DX11, future-proof OS and newer titles will get optimized for Win7 even if they are not DX11 title.

I known win 7 is really amazing but if one has 2gb ram and wants to run dx10
then what to do? there should be some way..or in xp 64bit may be....replay
 
DX 10 and Windows XP dont' mix. So, if you have only 2 GB RAM i suggest you take Windows 7. Just installed Windows Vista and Windows 7 on one system with 2 gb RAM and Vista consumer a whopping 900Mb - 1.2GB on Idle on the Task Manager. While Windows 7 consumes a meager 400-500 Mb.

So the final answer is no for dx10 in xp?
what about in xp 64bit?
 
2GB ram on Windows 7 will be much better compared 2GB on Vista... since Win7 is much better optimized and tweaked for scalability.

Secondly, amount of RAM will not help you a lot in gameplay experience apart from faster loading times. For better gameplay/visual experience... your graphic card counts.

EDIT:

You are still not getting it, are you?

THERE IS NO DX10 IN WINDOWS XP... 32-BIT or 64-BIT... just drop it!
