No we're not in agreement because it doesn't have better graphics. It has the same graphics. Better graphics means higher detailed models, higher resolution textures, more objects on screen. Bioshock has none of that in DX10, it doesn't utilize DX10's advanced shaders.<br><br>A better example of DX10 would be the tech demo of the crytek engine.<br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®
