DX10 or not to DX10?

[dvj]

I switched to DX10 recently. At least a 20% maybe 30% improvement in fps. Water textures, colors,appear more pronounced. cockpit shading only shows in the enabled aircraft that have it. Some texture problems with FTX and older dx9 converted aircraft. Have not purchased the "fixer" yet. Been tweaking with the Nvidia inspector.

If you do purchase the fixer, your remaining problems will go away.

I went to Steves site at the link in the thread and could not find the "Fixer" that was mentioned. Mus be dense or sumpin!

Hi Joe,
When Avsim is back up again the Official Dx10/Steve's Fixer forum is here: http://forum.avsim.net/forum/644-the-official-dx10-scenery-fixer-support-forum/

The product can be purchased from The Flightsim Store.

Never been a fan of DX10.

Built a new FSX rig two years ago:
CPU: Intel i7 2600k @4.6GHZ
Memory: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz DDR3
Mobo: Asus P8Z67-v Pro/Gen3
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 SC 4GB
PSU: Corsair AX 760W.
Case: CoolerMaster HAF932 Advanced.

Even with this rig I never once thought of even trying DX10, as with add-ons like REX OD, Shade and others I am already very satisfied with what I see.
For me, I don't see any reason to spend $34 on something that I may only use once. A demo or trial version would have been an option.
Oh, I just read that it doesn't work with multi monitor setup's, so it's a definite "no go" for me.

I saw somewhere in this thread that someone was asking about ground textures, covering the whole world: Have a look at FTX Global and Vector.
