Microsoft Presents DirectX 10.1 Details at SIGGRAPH



Quote:

At the annual SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group for Computer GRAPHics) conference - more exciting than it sounds, Microsoft presented a lecture on the new Direct3D graphics platform and even newer Direct3D 10.1 framework. The whole course has been subsequently published to Microsoft Downloads. Here is their Powerpoint presentation for a quick summary.

Direct3D 10.1 looks to be quite a significant release for DirectX. Some of the interesting points to note:

* Will require Windows Vista SP1
* Not “supported” by current-generation DX10 hardware
* “Extension” to Direct3D 10 - “complete” D3D10
* 5 new API
* Improves rendering quality
o Enforces floating point 32 rendering
o Enforces 4x multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA)


For argument’s sake, Direct3D 10.1 didn’t come out of the blue. Microsoft had always planned for a 10.1 update when they released version 10. However that is no excuse as to why is it not compatible with DX10 hardware? People who have to dish out hundreds of premium dollars to buy DirectX-10 hardware today will be outdated in less than 6 months.

Fuck them. They want my money, I'm gonna jack shit outta warehouses like every good Serbian should before they see one penny out of me ever again. Donut hole fucking assholes can't make up their puny little undersized brains about jack shit. Look at vista for example. I want to switch networks now. Vista says to me, YOU WANNA DO JACK SHIT ON ME BUDDY I GOT TEH NEW GUI LOLz. And there I am sitting there thinking what fucking inbred fuck spends his fucking day designing a new fucking GUI for every fucking Windows update that will frustrate every fucking normal fuck on this goddamn fucking piece of shit spinning around a fucking fireball in this big fucking void regularly sized up by physicist cockfags who have nothing better to do than stare out their fucking 10 million dollar telescopes whose funding probably came out of my fucking pocket money greedily stolen by my fucking government in a system conceived by sister fucking french immigrants holding each others man tits in a cave in iceland.

So yeah, fuck em all.

Sounds good. I had fun with the 8800GTX, and will probably get the 9800GTX. Once spoiled with the best, I can only use the best now. Used to have a 6600GT and played games at 1024x768. Now 1280 looks bad.

Yeah directx10.0 hardware owners will only miss some new or improved features, unless you can't life without the latest thing this should not really be a big deal.

This is DX10 optional stuff made mandatory. So what? Milk the cash cow? No, thanks. I can enforce my 4MSAA and fuck the other part.

It's supported by upcoming graphics hardware, but not current DX10 hardware

In other words, any new DX10 cards comming out will have it.

You will hardly see any difference unless M$ screwed original DX10 api and doesn't want to admit it.
Nothing special on the release notes, IMO.

What ever happened with the "I HATE VISTA" discussion I thought most of you guys would never even consider getting it = no DX10 in any shape or form... EVER!

Interesting... Well in that case might as well get a 8800GTX when the new tech comes out the price will drop Razz

if it's absolutely true that dx10.0 gpus (all the g80 and r600) wont support dx10.1 tiny improvement (probably dx10.1 wont get tesselation support), then it's a bad move by m$. in any logical way.

but microcrap already lately announced it was untrue and that 10.1 is just some minor update. but you never know


yes

That was like this for every directx update, outside directx9.0c for which hardware features compatibility lasted 3 years.
