A Glimpse Into 3D future: DirectX Next Preview

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the virtual-sandwich dept.

Dave Baumann writes "Beyond3D has put up an article based on Microsoft's games developers presentations given at Meltdown, looking at the future directions of MS's next generation DirectX - currently titled "DirectX Next" (DX10). With Pixel Shaders 2.0 and 3.0 already a part of DirectX9 this article gives a feel of what to expect from PS/VS4.0 and other DirectX features hardware developers will be expected to deliver with the likes of R500 and NV50."

    We had one NeXT already. It turned back into Apple ;) On the other hand, obsession with X's will finally bring you to triple X. What an operating system that would be! :-)

    You've got to be kidding- whether or not you play games on a console determines if you have values? Is software all about personal values, and morals now?

    This is starting to sound like vegetarians are taking over or something. Where what you eat/software you run, determines your worth as a human being.

    It really doesn't matter that much in the big scheme of things.
