I always forget about Stalker CS.

But I'm not so sure about it being best in anything though. It uses almost the same features as Crysis does with very few variations and when everything is used it runs worse than Crysis Very High. It even uses a lot of memory, more than under DX9 and memory utilisation is something that DX10 was suposed to improve.

Great game, not so good engine IMO.

I don't think there is anything like "ATI is better for DX10". DX10 will work just like DX9, it is dependant on the actual game engine and driver support.

i guess you didn't read the previous posts here but a Moderator intervened and said get back on topic, this thread is not about ATI, DirectX, it is about the Geforce GTX260 PCB, so drop the DX and ATI stuff.
