[QUOTE="mcraenz, post: 215614, member: 54136"] I was under the impression that DX9 was just a set of features and didn't denote the power of those features, I would think that any grfx card produced today be it AGP, PCIe, integrated or add-on card would support modern features. For example I have a nvidia FX5200 it has no fan and doesn't have that much power but it has certain feature that MP makes use of to deliver a very nice looking interface without eating up my CPU time. Of course if I wanted to play cutting edge games not only would I require those features but I would need a lot of power behind them and some big fans! If your "PC" is old enough to not support DX9 then maybe it's time for an upgrade? The same argument could be used to say lets not use MMX technology because there is a minority who don't have that feature. Fact is most people want a nice shiny interface. -mcraenz [/QUOTE]
