    this is for those of you w/ dx10 cards. say i was playing a dx10-capable game (let's pick the western game "call of juarez" here) and want to switch from dx9 and dx10 in vista. is it really just as simple as going to the options menu in the game and switching from dx9 to dx10 as the graphics API (and a couple of seconds for your display to adjust like what happens when you change resolutions)? or is it a lot more complex than that? do you have to go to the control panel and edit display settings?? this may sound like a stupid question to some, but i don't have a dx10 card, so i would really like to know. tia

    You just go into options like you said, change it, then you have to hit "apply"

    easy as pie
