DirectX 9 Finally Out

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-3-times-the-x's-as-triple-x dept.

T-Kir writes "Microsoft has finally released DirectX 9... although we'll have to wait until the games that fully exploit it are released, at least those with high end cards (aka Radeon 9700+) will be able to unlock more of the advanced features. Now all we have to wait for is OpenGL 2.0!"

    I'll be excited when
    1) there are DX9 games available
    2) a DX9 compat. card can be had without forking over a majority of my month's paycheck
