Turbine Inc. has announced that the Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar now supports the Microsoft DirectX 10 API and the NVIDIA GeForce graphics processors. LoTR: Shadows of Angmar is now the first MMORPG to support DirectX 10.

The new feature was incorporated into the game so players can experience the new improvements to Middle-earth. Graphics within the game have been given a boost, with upgraded shaders for water, particle effects, and lighting for distant terrain.

The support for DirectX 10 will also allow the game to have realistic real-time shadows for outdoor environments.
