Wrong section, buddy!

http://forums.pcapex.com/video_cards/ - post video card questions here in future!

Well back to your question. Nope! It's not. Too old I'm afraid.

I believe you need a 7950 or newer. Preferably an 8xxx series.

And don't forget if i am not mistaken you have to have Vista for a OS to run Direct X 10 video cards, i do not think XP or any other OS will run Direct X 10 as of let, if you have a video card that handles direct X 10 it will only run on XP or any other OS at Direct X 9 except Vista.

For DirectX 10 you'll need:

-Windows Vista (Basic or better)

-Nvidia 8xxx series
OR
-ATI HD2xxx series

-A DirectX 10 game to play with.


If you want a DirectX card I'd wait until the end of November after Nvidia and ATI release the cards they have lined up for the upcoming weeks. I'm eyeing the 8800GT 512MB model myself.
