Cannot run D3D 10 samples (Vista + Ocrober SDK)

Hi. Cannot run samples on Vista. Some samples run fine, but they have D3D 9 code, I think.

For instance, ParticlesGS says it "Cannot find compatible device" or something.

Have GeForce FX 5200,

96.85_forceware_winvista_x86_international_whql.exe drivers installed,

will D3D 10 be available at all

Your videocards doesn't support D3D10. So, it's not possible to run D3D10 samples in HW mode/

But if you installed October DX SDK on Vista RC1 you should be able to run D3D10 samples on refrast. But it will not be pleasant speedwise.

Thank goodness! I recently moved over to Vista RTM from RC1, and I am really looking forward to getting back to work on my D3D10 projects.

Very few people at the moment. The only hardware on the market that handles D3D10 is the GeForce 8800.

As far as I'm aware the December SDK should support RTM Vista. They made some late changes to the driver model between RC1 and RC2 which is why the SDK and RefRast won't work on newer builds...
