British situation The Inquirer is report from Siggraph 2007 that the next version of DirectX , 10.1 , necessitate paddle fresh ironware to support its sort of spanking new features .
The spec revision basically makes a number of thing that are optional in DX10 compulsory under the new standard – such as 32 - second floating point filtering , as opposed to the 16 - bit current . 4xAA is a compulsory touchstone to support in 10.1 , whereas computer graphic marketer can pick and choose their anti - aliasing support currently .
accordingly , your schmancy new DX10 card wo n’t be so schmancy when 10.1 drops . On the bright side , even if this turns out the way the asker seems to recall it will , since DX10.1 supposedly is n’t shipping until Vista SP 1 does , you credibly have about26 yearsof being on the cutting edge with a standard whose game financial support is nascent , to put it liberally .
