DirectX9 Support for FPSCX10!! Could this be added for DBPx10 too? And defienatly if GDKx10 is coming then it needs DX9 support too!

The DirectX9 support changed my thinking of DBX10 for sure!!
Exspecially if GPU instancing works with DX9 support

I hope i get answered on this.

That's a hardware feature, so it won't be supported.

Hey Batvink, I took your suggestion and made the banner

You like? Don't know if I'll keep it, as it's size annoys me. But I might just use it to post with when I see someone breaking the AUP lol.
