GAMES explode WITH REALISM

Shimmering rays of light, gory exploding ogres—computer games enabled for DirectX 10, Windows Vista’s new graphics system, create lifelike images by tapping into an overlooked source of processing power: the graphics card. DirectX 10 lets the card take over the calculations that determine how to create and shape 3-D objects accurately. It can crunch more numbers than your PC’s overworked main processor, allowing games to flesh out detailed scenes. microsoft.com
