Windows XP DirectX 10

Post by race_invader »

Well upcoming DirectX 10 games won't be able to play on XP but there is away to get around it.
Directx 10 for XP is wanted from long time. An alpha version of it is available now. Alky Project has released a preview of Alky compatibility libraries for Microsoft DirectX 10 enabled games. This can be used for Windows Operating system other than Vista to play games which requires Directx 10. This project was aimed to make DirectX 10 compatible games to run on Non Vista operating systems.

According to Alky Project ,

* These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Windows Vista
* Increase hardware compatibility even on Vista, by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native machine code for execution where hardware isn’t capable of running it. No longer will you have to upgrade your OS and video card(s) to play the latest games.
