Using DirectX 10 cards on Windows XP?

[Pikarya]

I currently use 2x ATi x1800xt's (dx9 cards) and was wondering if there were any problems I would encounter with using a new-gen card such as a dx10 card in my windows xp machine? I'm guessing no, since I'm sure the card has backwards capibility.

But I wanted to make 100% sure before buying a new card, didn't find anything in google.

Works fine, I'm using an ATI 4870 under windows xp right now.

It'll just use DX9

Using an HD4870 right now on XP, smooth as butter.

The card itself will work 100% fine in directx 9 mode. XP doesn't natively support directx 10 but you can get it working via a 3rd party mod which I haven't personally tested. Apparently they've been reporting some pretty good results.

can give this a try if you want direct x 10 on XP
