I've seen plenty of benches where the GTX chokes and dies on the current DX10 games, at best it's barely playable.
What current DX10 games? Heres som info on dx10 bioshock:
How does the DX10 version compare to the 360 graphics? And DX9?
The 360 and DX9 graphics are roughly equivalent. The DX10 graphics add a few additional features and image quality enhancements on top of this.
What kind of frame rates can you expect using an 8600 card and DX10?
Depends on what detail settings you use and what resolution as well as your CPU. Obviously this card will support the game pretty well though, so I would expect at least 30-40 FPS on high detail.
Apparently even 8600 can run dx10 bioshock on high detail and get decent fps.
Not sure though if "few additional features" is worth the hassle of installing a dualboot vista that costs 100-200€ and is a pain in the ass to manage if you like to tinker with your hardware.
