If this Happens , then 88XX Series owners are doomed

 

[goobimama]

This is some amazing news....

 

[ankitsagwekar]

owner of dx 10 is very bad luck
after spend 20 - 30k it's better to buy ps3 or xbox360

 

[rohan4pal]

Don't worry,buy it,because there is no official announcemet from microsoft.I don't think there will be much difference between dx 10 and 10.1.

 

[utsav]

take my suggestion .stick to onboard graphics . .
and if possible kill bill gates

he is now d second richest man only due to windows vista.else he would have remained in the first position.vista sp1 will cause him to be the 3rd richest man .

he will be out of the top 100 list in no time if this trend of harrassing consumers continues

@utsav : try not be too sarcastic..

Good luck playing games. Onboard graphics is good for anything other then games.

and if possible kill bill gates

Mind your language.

he will be out of the top 100 list in no time if this trend of harrassing consumers continues

I guess thats why Steve Jobs is so low in that list

Postpone your buying decision. Wait for an official response from Microsoft. You will know what to do once the air is cleared.

... in what sense?

in the anti-MS and pro-apple sense

 

[goobimama]

In a sense that my 7900GT/x1600 is not the only outdated card out there...

some wise guy pointed out in one of above post to change from these Di(v)rect X mess upgrades controlled by the billionaire's company.switch to OpenGL.Linux/Unix are already following opengl.latest version is OpenGL 3.and the best thing is it is cross platform(yes,win too)

@Utsav :: if you were being funny then it wasnt.. Sir William Henry Gates III is a very reputed and Respectable personaltiy.. not only he, but all known personalities we talk about in forum should be paid respect , if he/she is a type of person which has to be respected. Well you should have Highlighted in your first post , everything can't be automatically understood.

i just posted so that you keep that inmind the next time.. its ok if you meant what you wrote afterwards.

:rofl...pRAKASH, You & your links......Yeah right , switch to OpenGL & have a gr8 time optimising the code for the Windows Platform for better performance then.

DirectX is by Microsoft for WIndows. It is already optimised. It is very easy for developers to make games in DirectX compared to OpenGL cos they don't need to code or optimise much. Just start->build->compile->run......

Forget the link part dude, DirectX is here to stay & is much better then OpenGL for gaming on Windows platform. There are no graphics cards out there supporting OpenGL 3 yet. It will take 3 years for games to come with that. OpenGL 2.0 itself is not fully utilised yet.

^the above two posts shows the intolerable and brand lock "features" of windows fanatics.OpenGL will become the standard some time near future.it is already supported by major gfx card manufacturers.@imav:I pity on ur fanboyism.u better join microsoft "fanatics" section if ever they have.
what we experiance with DX is "vendor lock-in".while opengl allows u the freedom.I posted the criticism part esp for the mind-locked windows os users who are yet to know the realities beyond "Bill Gates"-the GOD
yeah,I know arguing with @imav is like arguing with a edited get lost!
