One of the most exciting developments in Windows Vista is the groundbreaking graphics technology. Windows Vista makes the gaming experience better in two ways; first, an improved graphics driver model delivers more stable and reliable gameplay. Second, many of the newest Windows games will take full advantage of the next-generation graphics technology in Windows Vista called DirectX® 10. DirectX® 10 will provide an incredibly detailed experience for gamers of every type. DirectX® 10 in Windows Vista delivers advanced graphics technology never before seen that will enable game creators to increase the game's level of realism, enhancing details and complexity in gaming worlds, apply effects like dynamic lighting and weather, and much more. While Windows Vista is fully compatible with games and hardware that use older versions of DirectX®, the new DirectX® 10 features are available with a DirectX® 10 compatible graphics card and games designed to take advantage of this new technology.
