Want a serious performance boost in BioShock? Play it on DirectX 9. Sad, but true. As DirectX 9/10 hybrid games have trickled to market, we've been testing them to see whether the newer, Vista-only API library is worth its salt. We've done it with Company of Heroes, Lost Planet, and more. In every case, DirectX 9 performance was far better than that of DirectX 10.

Anyway, this is the point I was trying to make. Not only will you get increased FPS playing games on DX9 - I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO!!!!
