CoH DX10 patch Time Demo's

Although this looks quite preliminary, but better off then nothing. So far the disparity between the 8600GTS and the 8800GTS 320Mb looks pretty bad which confirms my view personally that the former is priced wrongly (extra RM200 locally gets you the latter at the moment). But let's see later when proper games designed for DX10 will yield (Crysis does come to mind for now). What is even worse is that in DX10, frame rates drop generally by half compared to DX9 mode

as an addition, HD2900XT in action (which isn't good, hopefully a driver issue)

The 8600 series is really quite lame. Too underpowered. Improved drivers will help, but I don't think enough to make a real difference.

COH dx10 on my machine with 8600gt is laggy i should say..newer driver from nvidia improved it a little

Thank goodness I'm not purchasing that 8600 first. Rather to get the 7900GS if it's cheaper.
