New DirectX?
Where is newer then? The tenth version of “direct” only supports top-iron, and already released games for him two times and miscalculated. But despite this, Microsoft has already set its sights on updates. And this is not about editing bugs and optimizing performance, but about the emergence of a new “functionality”. A new DirectX 10.1 will appear near the end of the fall.
The trouble is that the installation of Direct3D 10.1 will require both Windows Vista itself and installing Service Pack 1 update for it. Besides, video cards (GeForce 8800 and Radeon 2900 series) do not support the features added in the new version of DirectX.
Where, interestingly, Microsoft looks? Igrodels already have to release (or adapt) their products for two systems (XP and Vista) and, in some cases, for two versions of DirectX (9 and 10). Therefore, most likely, minor (already announced) changes — 32-bit floating point operations, support for blending for pixels of exotic integer formats, etc. — are unlikely to be used when creating or modifying game engines.
