What is the difference in this new one? Is it better graphics or something?

[Etherion]

Usually, it has better compability, it's faster, more reliable, without problems in games (usually) etc etc etc....Even though I got a tnt2 and directx 8

DirectX 9.0C supports pixel shader 3.0 which the new NV40 chipsets have.

love the spam rite there

direct x is soo amazing, it improves your graphic performance, when i upgraded from direct x 7 to 9.0b, many of my games ran soo much better

[Critical_Impact]

Most newer games need a newer direct x. I'll have a go and report what sort of speed boost i get. I probably wont get much, because i already get around 20fps on Farcry with everything maxed out and aa on full.

I get around 50-80FPS in FarCry with everything maxed out at 1280x1024. And DirectX 9.0C only adds support for SM3.0 in the new NV40 chipsets.
