Is UT3 supporting OpenGL like the old engines or no? I can't remember if they addressed this yet. I'm just curious as the Unreal games have usually had very good linux support and I'm hoping this will also be the case with UT3.

This brings up something I've been wondering about. At first with Vista we saw all those DX10 to DX9 comparison shots. And everything looked 10 times better in DX10. But after using Vista for months now the performance in 3D still sucks for the majority of the people in DX9 games.

So does that mean these DX10 graphics will look great but even on a super fast system will run in the single digits? Does DX10 magically fix all the driver problems that Nvidia has been having? Or is it the old game of eye melting graphics but crap framerates for a year or 2 until graphics cards and drivers catch up? DX10 could be great but if it runs as shitty as DX9 currently does in Vista that it doesn't really mean shit.

Do not believe the marketing fluff folks. It's all just to get you to switch to Vista.

Early results show that both the 8800 and the HD2900XT suck ass at DX10... so I don't know why anyone would care.

Currently, Vista isn't the way anything was meant to be played, with a framerate hit. :(
