BTW I bought already should be here Wednesday If lucky Tuesday but doubt it.

Definatly will be trying the Lost Planet demo both in DX9 and DX10 though, DX10 first
The benches of the DX10 of Lost Planet on the GTX are already done.

Die Testwerte (siehe unten) zeigen deutlich den großen Hunger nach Grafikkartenleistung. Die Geforce 8800 Ultra befeuert das Spiel im D3D9-Modus ohne Probleme. Schaltet man jedoch in den D3D10-Modus samt Soft-Shadows, bricht die Framerate über 50 Prozent ein. Dieses Phänomen kennen Shooter-Freunde schon von F.E.A.R. (dt.) und Riddick (dt.), welche mit Soft-Shadows zwar grandios aussehen, aber ähnlich einbrechen. Erfreulich ist jedoch, dass der D3D10-Modus mit den Detail-Einstellungen des D3D9-Pfads etwa zehn Prozent schneller läuft.
Translation:
The test-values (see below) clearly show the hunger for graphic-performance. The 8800 Ultra runs the game in DX9 without problems. However, if the DX10 mode, along with soft-shadows, is used, the framerate drops more than 50%. This phenomena are known to FPS-friends cos whilst FEAR & Riddick look great with soft-shadows (Noobie's note: not it doesn't, FEAR soft-shadows quality was tested a long time ago by a site and it was found to be very ugly), performance drops similarly. However, it is pleasing that the DX10 mode with similar detail-setting as the DX9 mode is 10% faster.
