- CColtManM, on 07/24/2008, -3/+50That X sure is getting bigger.
- crownedgriffin, on 07/24/2008, -2/+40Somehow, I still think DirectX 9 will be hanging around for a while longer.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -4/+41Hey check out our new FPS its set in AFRICA jesus christ mother of god that's like 8 billion square miles of terrain for you to explore and drive around in a jeep setting ***** desert brush and brown people on fire holy ***** ***** isn't that sweet okay so our last game didnt deliver but this one will we swear because it uses this fancy new ***** shader tech that i can't even pronounce right anyway dont worry about the gameplay there will be like thirty guns so its gonna be AAA material oh yeah you need a quad core and SLI to run it but its worth it seriously goddamn
- tj111, on 07/24/2008, -4/+25With all this talk of Windows 7 and DirectX 11, I really need a grilled cuban sandwich right about now.
- MadOgre, on 07/24/2008, -9/+28Unless it's available for WinXP, I don't give a *****.
- Gogogo111, on 07/24/2008, -13/+32Wow these comments are ***** awful.

I give you one free internet.

- terencec, on 07/24/2008, -4/+17ditto what you said, i dont care how nice it looks just make a good game
- starkes, on 07/24/2008, -15/+28it only took 2 opengl's to get this far
- Gman1223, on 07/24/2008, -12/+25Hey, I really don't get the Vista bashing.
I'm running Vista Ultimate on my computer, which consists of 512MB ram and a 2.8GHz P4. It runs no slower than a modern Linux distro.
I like Vista much better than XP, too.
Go ahead, Digg me down for my opinion. - amaranth, on 07/24/2008, -5/+18I hope that tying directX to Vista bites MS like it should. DX11 is just a marketing ploy to make folks feel like they're being left behind. I wanna see an API that isnt MS tied. Don't care if its OpenGL or something else. Platform independent computing is good for us.
- Ellipsys, on 07/24/2008, -0/+12Crysis is the most poorly optimized game ever. I hear that the new "expansion", Crysis: Warhead (or something like that) is going to have a refined form of the engine that is much easier to run even on low end hardware.
- estvir, on 07/24/2008, -3/+14Rushing? They're following the normal release timeframe as far as I'm aware.
It seems like everyone on Digg, Reddit, etc only suddenly discovered the Internet, video games and technology as none of you seem to possess even the slightest knowledge going back over a year or two.
Get off my lawn. - estvir, on 07/24/2008, -7/+17You plan on using a than 9 year old OS in 2010 or so? Wow.
- JDiZZle300Z, on 07/24/2008, -1/+10Yeah, but don't you understand? This has to happen so that we can one day game on a holo-deck. :)
- ortucis, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9"He has a hunch called XP."
- Captain Obvious - Squeeself, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9Have you SEEN how many glExtensions there are?
- gemlogger, on 07/24/2008, -2/+10X11. Sounds sort of familiar.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9Good for Microsoft, and good for developers that make games that can barely run on pcs (I'm serious). They are doing their jobs. Nvidia and AMD need to make sure that AT LEAST their top of the line cards can easily play these games! I mean come on the GTX 280 is the third gen of graphics card since Crysis came out and the thing still can't play the game maxed out at 30 fps... Either Crysis is the most poorly optimized game ever or we need better hardware engineers out there. I hope if Intel tries out discrete graphics that they can add some competition for the sake of performance. When these cards cost more than the best consoles sometimes, they should be able to play any game.
- zateam, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7Welcome to Digg. Enjoy your stay.
- Ratteler, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7My amplifier is louder see, cause it goes to 11.
- amenic, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6B-b-but you can even see the sweat dripping off my chin and light refraction at every possible angle and if the wind is blowing at greater than 35 mph, it will even accurately be blown away and realistically interact with the world environment!
Methinks these guys are really missing the point of a game... - ChileanGoD, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6At least they aren't going the same direction as they did with directX 9. You know... the directx 9.0, directX 9.0b, directX9.0c... and then the directx 9.0c gets monthly updates without you even fking knowing they were because it's always directx9.0c. There's a jungle of directx 9.0's out there to download.
- BugMeNot2, on 07/24/2008, -2/+7These "Wow, these comments are ***** awful" comments are getting old.
- Smills, on 07/24/2008, -1/+6It looks like their next operating system is shaping up to be very good. You may not be sticking to XP when that comes out.
- Gman1223, on 07/24/2008, -1/+6http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/5198/vistaau0.png
That's my desktop, and I detailed all my PC specs too. I also played Crysis demo on this PC. But, that was kind of painful. - annihilator675, on 07/24/2008, -6/+11WTF? They haven't finished--- er excuse me, even started to make games built for DX10. Why the hell did I pay for this 8800? You *****, lol!
- Shaflugi, on 07/24/2008, -2/+7Seriously, why can't Microsoft make DirectX into an open standard or something, rather than making it Windows-only?
- petard, on 07/24/2008, -1/+6Games for Windows Live is now completely free - every single feature.
- Ryvenn, on 07/24/2008, -9/+14FFS. DX10 and 10.1 still haven't really been used much and they're already rushing to make yet another gen of high end video cards obsolete!?
I'm not too impressed by the gimmick "Slightly more powerful than what you already have... but with technology that means your current card is obsolete! Buy! Buy! Buy!" - Gman1223, on 07/24/2008, -5/+10"As if Vista Ultimate would run well on 1GB of Ram, what, did you disable every last feature in the GUI?"
I run full Areo, I have not disabled anything out of my install. I didn't say it was as speedy as XP, but it is very comparable to a modern Linux distro in speed. And about as comparable to an install of XP that is 6 months old, but well maintained.
If you guys don't believe me, I'd be happy to provide you with a screenshot of my Desktop. - estvir, on 07/24/2008, -2/+6You do need need a new video card for every version of DX and DX10 and 10.1 compatible video cards will work with DX11.
- Cryoniq, on 07/24/2008, -11/+15Who need it? I don't. OpenGL kick the frack out of DX any time. And a lot of developers gone over to OpenGL lately as well :P
- TheSnuffster, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4/dev/null
- werries, on 07/24/2008, -1/+5*sigh*
New API's are usually improved and less buggy and will actually decrease the amount of work needed to be put into a solid graphics system, this will allow good graphics to be an easier accomplishment in games, allowing for more time spent with story and gameplay bugs to be worked out after the graphics and physics and sound are fully fleshed. - Jhiaxuz, on 07/24/2008, -1/+5DX 10.1 is a mere extension of DX 10 and in no way made 10 obsolete. It merely gave graphic vendors more control over visuals and support for cube mapping. No big deal.
DX11 is implementing standardized GPGPU and by all means this is a good thing. - amenic, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Port Directx9 to Linux and let the uber consumers have their Dx10 and 11 proprietary style and I'll be in heaven :)
- RyomaNagare, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Cool finally a new "Odd numbered" version of DirectX this one will surely work and constitute a new de-facto standard.
as did DX5, 7 and 9 back in their day. - estvir, on 07/24/2008, -4/+7Who cares how 'relevant' their software is? I care about how well it works, how current it is, etc. It'll be even worse if you're using XP on new hardware, especially so in ~ 2010. By the way, XP will be as 'relevant' in 2010 as 2000 is now.
XP is a horrible OS, people should move on. - Dustmuffins, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3they will, but they won't have all the dx11 features.
- MadOgre, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2If it is actually good, sure, I'll use it. But it will have to be pretty damn good to beat what's out now in Linux or a well tuned XP or OSX...
- travist120, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Ah *****, it's going to be a while before WINE gets any taste of this.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3[Citation needed]
- jellydoughnut21, on 07/24/2008, -2/+4I shall wait for windows 7 and DX11 to upgrade anything on my computer...wait...I think i said this before regarding vista and dx10 and that ***** never happened because it was all such a ***** bust....weird...
- Jsnllnd, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2So is Windows Vista.
....
Moving along.. - reconflux, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2If it can outperform in terms of frames per second vs. XP, I'll make the switch, otherwise I'm staying where I am.
- GlitchEnzo, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3Not even comparable. DirectX includes graphics, sound, networking, input, etc.
OpenGL only does graphics. - Ryvenn, on 07/24/2008, -2/+4Huh? DX 10.1 made DX 10 cards obsolete you know. The DX 10.1 generation has only just been released and already they are announcing that it's about to become obsolete.
