directx9... ahh... good old days... i still remember my radeon 9500np@9700pro... with a silent arctic cooling dual slot heatsinks that exhausts air from the case...
the first vga retail heatsinks that did this...

im starting to think that somebody within or close to crytek shared our feeling over this directx9 nonsense and basically screwing over pc users...
and thats why the pc version was leaked...
