Go 7900 GS = directx10?

Bone

does the NVIDIA GeForce™ Go 7900 GS have directx 10? as in can I play bioshock in dx10.

SPIKE09

Nope the nvidia support for true dx10 starts with the 8xxx series of cards.

Bone

well thats crappy, considering how expensive that line of cards is.

How much did you pay for the card? and when did you buy it? DX10 did only come out at the end of 2006 with GPU's rolling out just a few months after.

Bone

well I just bought a laptop and that is what came with it

Should have done more research

I'm actually not too sure if Direct X 10 cards for the laptop are out yet even though....

You should buy something like this

7900 GS is probably roughly as fast as the 8600 GT. You could probably find benchmarks that compare them.

The loss of Dx10 isn't much of a loss at this point.

Actually the 7900 is faster or just as fast as a Mobile 8600GS the 8700GT is now the top dog for notebooks

What about the 8600GT? Those come in MacBook Pros, new Asus laptops, and new Dell laptops.

I haven't found any shipping notebooks with the 8700GT, yet.

The Mobile 8600GT is better than the 7900 that use to dominate the notebook market. The 8700GT is out there but just not in a ton of notebooks.

Here are a few I found
