If you're a gamer that likes to max out visuals, then you'll want Win10 cause it comes with the DirectX12 driver, which will allow lower end GPU's to run games they normally wouldn't be able to, while the high end cards will also be better than ever.
Nvidia's game tech demo with Win10's DirectX12
This means Nvidia demos are Nvidia demos running 5-15 years ahead of what consumers can expect or afford to run in machines of their own. For as long as there have been video game and video rendering demos companies have been misrepresenting pre rendered video as live.
Hardware has limits. Budgets also have limits. DirectX was a hack to bring the performance of cheap coders closer to the limits of the hardware, but never offer much more than the smallest improvements. There's too many places to go wrong and with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all offering their own ways for studios to touch the bare metal DirectX is about as relevant to gaming as 16 bit DOS was to Windows XP. It is there as a courtesy, but it is never going to be the focus again.

This does mean Windows 10 will push 3D holograms that look this good. Imagine websites that are actual environments.
Marketing. Those 3D holograms are going to take serious rendering on your side. Those websites are no more going to be actual environments than whatever your wet dreams may be now, but minus 3/4 of the imagined stimuli. Parts of technology move fast, but the applications of that technology never move anywhere neat as fast as the marketing bullshit promises.
