Crytek, Microsoft and NVIDIA Downplay DirectX 10.1
DailyTech has made inquiries about what other big developers and Microsoft itself think of DirectX 10.1. Expected to be rolled out with Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista Service Pack 1, "DX10.1 is an incremental update that won’t affect any games or gamers in the near future." said senior global director of Microsoft games on Windows, Kevin Unangst. Microsoft isn't the only developer downplaying DirectX 10.1. Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek, states,"We pride ourselves on being the first to adopt any important newtechnology that can improve our games so you would expect us to getwith DX10.1 right away but we've looked at it and there's just nothingin it important enough to make it needed. So we have no plans to useit at all, not even in the future." NVIDIA also has a response for AMD's DirectX 10.1 support, a feature of AMD's new HD 3800 series that the company has been rather vocal about. NVIDIA's latest guidance describes DirectX 10.1 as "a minor extension of DirectX 10 that makes a few optional features in DirectX 10 mandatory". NVIDIA's corporate roadmap details plans to include DirectX 10.1 in its ninth-generation GPU architecture, codenamed D9. However, the first D9 processors will not debut until next year.
Úgylátszik crytekéket is megvette az nv kilóra. Pedig nem is olyan régen mintha azt olvastam volna, ha elérhetővé válik a dx10.1 ők egyből beleheggesztik a motorba. Érdekes módon, ez a hír faszán egybecseng a pár oldallal korábban linkelt oldallal, miszerint az amd-t kizavarták a crytek studiójából.
Pedig pont a crytektől nem várnám ezt, hiszen a far cry esetében is egyből belepatcheltek minden új ficsőrt a motorba (sm3, hdr, stb..)
