You'd think that with the 7800 you would be able to update the drivers or something to make it DX10 compatible, but I don't know how video cards work, so I don't know if that's possible.

DirectX 10 drivers may work with DirectX 9 cards, however all cards are built with a DirectX level that cannot be upgraded.

My very old Geforce FX 5200 card was built to use DirectX 8 technology. Then DirectX 9 came out, but my card can still only use up to DirectX 8. When I did play DirectX 9 games using this card my performance was horrible even with DirectX 9 drivers installed on my computer.

Then I got a new Radeon X800 GTO which was built to use DirectX 9. Besides being faster than the Geforce FX 5200, my card has a signifigant boost in performance since the developers put DirectX 9 into the card itself. Rather than downloading drivers to your hard drive.

Can you see my point?
