1. Nice, finally 32bit FP ops, and it would be nice if they made having a tessellator unit mandatory also.

Very good, seams my Ati 8500 will finally get some use...

2. ok. bring on the new 500W video cards/room heaters to fully support 10.1


32bit FP.... wow... you need serious muscle to crunch them down

3. so 2900xt will still almost fully support 10.1?

4. Thats as clear as mud. Let me clarify.

Directx 10 cards in production today will not support all the features of Directx 10.1 despite claiming to be direct X10 compatible.

To me that makes 10.1 a major release not a minor one or Nvidia sold me a pup with this future prrof vista compatible 8800 i bought.

I think I feel a a class action suit coming on.

Why is it that future proof hardware never is ?

Note to self never never buy hardware until SP1 comes out.

5. lol, I just dropped almost a grand on 2 Nvidia 8800 graphics card, leave it to me to actually trust Microshaft and get screwed again. This is Bullshit

6. You guys are both idiots, if you think that hardware is future proof. The plan to DX 10.1 has been clear for a very log time, it is not new news.

Class action suite Get real kid, There are no pieces of hardware on the market that give you future proofing. What are you going to do sue yourself for thinking that you would be future proof by spending 500$ on a video card please.

Dx 10.1 is no more an update then 9.0b and 9.0c were. You need to do a little reading before getting your panties in a twist.

7. My panties are just fine, cause i don't give a fcuk.

8. Thanks

9. Your card will still do everything it claimed it could in its specs. I'm running two 8800's and it isn't worrying me much. I don't see developers putting a lot of work into 10.1 support when the only people that can use it for a while are few in numbers, and that work could be put towards making other parts of the graphics that everyone can use better. As of now there's a small handful of games that support DirectX 10, none that require it. I doubt that if the 8800 could support 10.1 that there would be a huge difference in the final picture on your screen. If it bothers you that much to miss out on a couple pixels (im not making fun of you, I like things the best they can be too), then the price of feeling better is the price of a new graphics card (or two). I don't know much about the innerworkings of directx or graphics cards, but it wouldn't surprise me if 10.2 adds some stuff an 8800 CAN use. BTW is it some or ALL of 10.1 features that it can't support? Personally, just as I'd love to have a 7.1 home theater surround sound system that can play DTS-HD lossless audio off a blu-ray, it isn't worth that much money to upgrade from my 6.1 DD-EX/DTS-ES system. You gotta learn to settle with what you got for a while. When some game comes out that uses DirectX 10.1 and looks like crap on my 8800's, then I'll buy one. As long as they are still making my PS3 look like a kid's toy, I'm happy. (dont start any PS3 arguments either, i dont know for sure how the power compares I just go by what I see)

10. Dont worry. G92 GeForce 9800 GTX will be released in November 2007 with DX 10.1 support at the hardware level, and will still the cake.

11. Well, this makes me glad that I only have a 8800 gts 320 stock card. I feel kinda sorry for the people that have their SLI 8800 Ultra. GPU's. Cause after all, those are the guy's interested in the benefits of this update, the tech geeks.

12. Correct me if I,m wrong here but from everything I've read, doesn't the 8800 already do 32bit fpo's. The other enhancements from DX10 include better multi-core support for CPU's, and I'm thinking and hoping we don't need a compliant card for the multi-core support.

13. Gostaria de saber se directx esta disponivel para dowlond? Caso sim favor enviar o mesmo para endereço abaixo:

14. ohh great direct 10.1

15. According to this, its fully compatible with DX10.0, it just has some extended functionality and a sort of feature enforcement:
They want developers to support DX10.1 features completely or none at all, i wonder if you can just code to DX10.0 standards then, or will the game revert to DX9 if it only uses some features of DX10? Hello confusion city!
