croc Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 A user on another forum asked.... I didn't know, so thought I'd ask.
nitroshift Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Aero is a DX10-based GUI. I wonder why he/she asked about Aero under DX8....
croc Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Aero is a DX10-based GUI. I wonder why he/she asked about Aero under DX8....Hmm... Works pretty good in DX 9, just wondered if anyone had tried with lower DX versions. And he/she asked because that's what they have.
bijicool Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 DirectX 10 comes with Vista, and Vista only. But... that's for games basically.The Aero interface is actually DirectX 9 based. DirectX 10 won't be a requirement for Vista Premium untill 2008

croc Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 dx8, who cares!?Obviously, someone with an older system that likes what they have. I'm looking for information, not snobby snubs. You have no information.
Albuquerque Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 True DX8 class hardware (ATI R200, NV20, Matrox G300) doesn't support aero glass features.
MagicAndre1981 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 True DX8 class hardware (ATI R200, NV20, Matrox G300) doesn't support aero glass features.yes, because aero glass uses PixelShaders 2.0 with was intruduced with dx9

That's useful information.So most any graphics card that has pixelshader 2.0 will work for Aero. Explains some laptop issues I've seen.
gdogg Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 so aero and glass effects are directx 9do they need dx10 at all?could then this dx10 and opengl32 dll's not be replaced by dx9.dll from xp and opengl32.dll from xp?
