DirectX 10.1 Leaving DirectX 10 Cards in the Dust?

British site The Inquirer is reporting from Siggraph 2007 that the next version of DirectX, 10.1, requires spanking new hardware to support its sort of spanking new features.
The spec revision basically makes a number of things that are optional in DX10 compulsory under the new standard - such as 32-bit floating point filtering, as opposed to the 16-bit current. 4xAA is a compulsory standard to support in 10.1, whereas graphics vendors can pick and choose their anti-aliasing support currently.

Nvidia G84 GPUs Right Around the Corner?

If you haven't been able to get your hands on one of those GeForce 8800 GTX cards we've shown you (or if you just can't afford them), you might want to hold off for a bit. Seems like Nvidia's forthcoming G84 and G86 GPUs for the entry level and mid range crowd are on target for a Q1 release. The chips will be derived from the current G80 and will have less real pipelines than their counterparts, but in turn they'll be priced in the $199 to $249 range, which considering the cost of the current 8800 cards sounds good to us. – Louis Ramirez More »
