dx 8 and aero?

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.

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

Useful information, but can you provide a link? And the original post was about whether someone had tried vista on a dx 8 GPU...

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

Thank you. 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.
