prathapml Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Darn! I have just about bought a ShaderModel 3.0 card, and was hoping it would stay the top standard for some time atleast.... Now looks like I'm again on an obsolete card, grrrr.... Edited December 9, 2005 by prathapml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash&Burn Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 What? You don't actually expect Vista to ship on time do you? That ShaderModel 3.0 should be good for a couple years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suryad Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Well DX 10 or DX next or WGF 2.0 could ship earlier than Visra so game devs can start using its features. I doubt it would have much to do with Vista itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DmitryKo Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Well DX 10 or DX next or WGF 2.0 could ship earlier than Visra so game devs can start using its features. I doubt it would have much to do with Vista itself. In fact, it does have everyting to do with Vista, because Direct3D 10 aka WGF2.0 is be based on functionality provided by Advanced mode Vista Display Driver Model (VDDM, previously known as LDDM) There's also Basic mode drive model that supports current DX9 hardware, and Basic VDDM-complient drivers are required for DX9.L aka WGF 1.0 which is exposed by Aero Glass interface. Vista will also supports DX9 driver model that's used in XP/2000; Aero Glass is not supported in this mode but DX9/8/7/6 and OpenGL games will run as usual.Seehttp://www.tgdaily.com/2005/09/22/vista_gr...han_xp_drivers/http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winhec/Pres05.mspx#toc8 (paper Windows Graphics Overview)WGF 2.0/1.0 SDK is going to be released along with Vista Beta 2 due in February.[Edit] Actually, the Direct3D 10 Technology Preview is included in December 2005 SDK update! http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ Edited December 14, 2005 by DmitryKo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
