At the moment I'm still obsessing over the idea of GPU physics accelerated swarms of bubbles... Other than that I haven't really seen enough DX10 demos to say. I know DX8 is in a completely different league than anything before it, I just keep thinking about the DX8 version of the aquarium that's already out there and I'm having a hard time pushing the thought out of my mind that DX8 this time around is going to mean little more than an engine upgrade with nearly identical visuals...

If you're really going to be taking full advantage of all the neat tricks DX8 brings to the table I'll stop worrying...
I don't watch commercials.
