Thursday, December 7th, 2006

A Microsoft representative contacted GamePro today to clear up a few matters concerning the Windows Vista 031.jpgupcoming Windows Vista port of Halo 2…namely, that the game will support Direct X 9 visual effects, not the Direct X 10 effects. GamePro.com, as well as many other game media outlets, have reported that Halo 2 will support Direct X 10 visual effects.

This is not the case, according to an update from Microsoft. Though the Windows Vista version of Halo 2 will be based on Direct X 9 graphics technologies, owners of Direct X 10 hardware can expect to see "certain performance benefits." What those benefits are remains to be seen, though faster frame rates seem likely. Microsoft clarifies: Halo 2 Vista won’t be Direct X 10 | PC News | GamePro.com
