    I've read in a couple of places on this board that the drivers available on the Gateway website for the P6831 FX do NOT support DX10. I've been playing Crysis with those Gateway drivers, and it seems to like it's running in DX10. I did notice, however, that the Nvidia DX10 demos don't work that well, and the Cascades demo doesn't work at all!! What is going on here?

    Your first mistake is using Gateway drivers.

    www.laptopvideo2go.com. Read the instructions before you install the driver.
