NVIDIA On Their Role in PC Games Development

GamingHobo writes "Bit-Tech has posted an interview with NVIDIA's Roy Taylor, Senior Vice President of Content/Developer Relations, which discusses his team's role in the development of next-gen PC games. He also talks about DirectX 10 performance, Vista drivers and some of the upcoming games he is anticipating the most. From the article: 'Developers wishing to use DX10 have a number of choices to make ... But the biggest is whether to layer over a DX9 title some additional DX10 effects or to decide to design for DX10 from the ground up. Both take work but one is faster to get to market than the other. It's less a question of whether DX10 is working optimally on GeForce 8-series GPUs and more a case of how is DX10 being used. To use it well — and efficiently — requires development time.'"

Then why did you buy it in the first place?
Besides, a 8800 GTX is a very good card. I chose a GTS because of power usage and price. But if you bought a $700 highend card without actually wanting it, then you are to blame.

I see someone's still using an old graphics card. How can you expect to post first when your competition is using the latest and greatest pixel-shading, cross-hyper-threading, voxel-throbbing thingamabobs?
