At the fanfest, graphics were some of the biggest things they had to show off. This video shows new and old ships side by side.

Thanks to CCP for this video.

A little bit too shiny, but nice.

It's all nice and shiny, though from what I've heard it's only going to be the ones who have Vista on board that'll be able to look at the new shinies. Or that depends on how willing M$ are to make an XP version of Dx10.

you heard wrong. Those graphics are the dx9 engine, the DX10 engine will just have better performance and will allow them to do things that DX9 can't in the future. That's it.

The images you have seen in that videa are the updated DirectX9 graphics. Its just that DirectX10 will have a few more shading tricks and some optimisation.

 

Remember X3 Reunion doesant need DirectX10.

As noted by others, these images are from their DX9 graphics upgrade. They're also doing a DX10 version, but have not yet shown it off. They're keeping the original client too.

CCP never fails to impress with their graphics engine.  And if you haven't seen it, there's a render of one of the characters that we'll be able to walk around in stations as.
