Hello, I frequently visit and love this website and it's community. Any knowledgeable peeps can let me know if the main board's chipset must be compatible to work with DX10? I think I might be confused with the mobo GPU chipset.
Example, (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro) + (any pci-e mobo) = DX10
True or False? Thank you, good night.

DX10 is a feature built into the card with backward compatibility. It'll play DX9, 8 etc games. In order to use DX10 you have to have a card (geforce 8 series and later and whatever ATI ones do) and use the windows vista OS. You'll also need a game to have DX10 programmed into it to use it as well.

You'll generally need a PCI-E slot yes since that's what all the video cards use, I believe there was a rumor though that evga I think it was, is going to make an AGP 8 series card.

Now that's how to ask a question.
