AMD与暴雪的合作，使得大家纷纷猜测D3和sc2会采用DX10.1技术和havok物引擎理引擎，在2008暴雪嘉年华上，就有玩家就D3与SC2是否采用DX10技术和havok物理引擎的问题分别询问了D3和SC2的设计师，却得到与意料中并不一致的答案，更多暴雪嘉年华专题报道，关注Blizzcon.sc2p.com。

       DX10 in Diablo 3?
        Now we wanted to know if Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 would use the libraries of Direct X 10. After all, the API has been available for quite some time already. So our colleague Oliver Haake at Buffed asked Ray Gresko (Diablo 3) and Dustin Browder (Starcraft 2) if DX10 would be important. They both answered that Direct X 10 would generally be interesting, but currently it wouldn’t be an issue for the two games. They also didn’t want to give any statements about the use of Havok as physics engine.

        Why the Blizzard programmers were so hesitant isn’t clear. But up to now no game could receive a noticeable benefit from DX10 support.

        在Blizzcon 2008上，有人就此询问了参与开发《暗黑破坏神3》的Ray Gresko和《星际争霸2》设计师Dustin Browder，暗黑3与星际2中是否采用DX10技术，结果两人均表示DX10看起来很有趣，但与这两款游戏无关。这就意味着两款大作不会从新的API中获益，但同时也不会导致硬件配置需求过高，可以让更多玩家更轻松地运行。同时他们也没就Havok物理引擎是否在游戏中使用给出任何声明

        为什么暴雪的程序员这么犹豫我们并不是很清楚，但是到目前为止，还没有游戏能从对DX10支持上获得任何显而易见的好处。
