    DX 9 is less demanding on your system than DX10. If you compare DX9 screenshots to DX10, you'll see the difference.

    It's about 10% in the performance hit on my system from DX9 to DX10. Although there is a noticeable improvement in DX10 graphics it's not much and not worth the performance hit in my opinion.

    go for DX9 mate, since you arent putting insane amount of AA, you'll not see the difference between DX9 and DX10.
