Tom Clancy HAWX can be played in DirectX 10

[akhtar]

Hello, I have recently bought a Radeon Hd 3870 Graphic card and I think it can support DirectX 10 games. Now my question is whether Tom Clancy HAWX game is supported in DirectX 10 and can be played with this card? Thank you

Yes, it can be played in DirectX 10 mode.

Tom Clancy's HAWX aligns itself with the other games that support DirectX 10. With the Vista API the following additional graphics effects that are not available under DirectX 9:

• High Quality Shadows Map for the plane of the player
• Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
• Sun Shafts (God Rays)
• Soft Particles for effects and clouds

If you own an up-to-date Radeon graphics cards those effects are even calculated faster with DX 10.1. The comparative screenshots below reveal the visual difference of HAWX running in DX9 and DX10. Soon we will also delver benchmarks that deal with the problem of how much DirectX 10 and DirectX 10.1 are affecting the performance.

Yeah this game supports DX10, you run it from a DX10 exe file. Though the game has some performance issues in DX10. And honestly ive never noticed any major difference between DX9 and DX10 in this game unless you put two different screenshots side by side.

In the graphics options, it tells you instructions on how to make it in DX10 mode... at the bottom of the screen in Graphics Settings.

I don't understand the instructions though. BUT! They DO give DX10.
