    For one.. Lost planet Demo is a bit buggy.. BTW, you are running vista, aren't you?

    The demo sucks. It crashes on my 8800GTX on my desktop. I would find a better DX10 demo.

    it looks 99.9% the same in dx10 as it does in dx9, the only main difference between the two is the DX10 version of the demo runs at 1/2 the frame rate :p

    unless you just trying to benchmark the system its pointless to download or try the dx10 version, if you actually want to play it definitly get the dx9 one.

    I had that problem before June, at the time they only have April SDK on Microsoft's website, since the problem is solved I didn't bother to look for new version.
