Timeline Update:XP,DX9,DX10

  • 發行項

Now that my blog is all over arstechnica and digg, I need to correct something that is being misconstrued in my post about XP and DX10.

XP shipped in 2001 with DX8.1.

DX9 shipped Dec 2002. At that point the DX9 bits were final and could be used to make the desktop window manager and Aero. So that is the code branch I am talking about, and that is when DX10 wasnt "baked". Not back in the XP timeframe.

With the public demo of GPU memory management at WinHEC 2004 in April, thats roughly 2.5 years from the end of XP to a workable DX10.

One of my points, that what engineers enlisted into and checked code into ( the code branch ) was well beyond XP is made stronger and not diminished by me making clear this timeline.

    Phil: your blog has been the only really useful comment on the progress of SP1 and the Dx10 patch.  In truth FSInsider is not very helpful and would be improved with this sort of news and progress reports.  Have you reached a stage where you can be a little more precise when each is likely to be available.   SP1 downloads will test your servers I predict.  Many thanks for the info.

    Thanks Phil Sounds to me like DX10 is the final perf tweek we will need.  I'm going to be patiently waiting til the fall.  Maybe I can zero in on a new machine in the meantime, based on the new AMD 65 nm's coming out this summer.  I'm stuck in Macintosh no FSX-land now. Thx again for the DX10 primer. Ed
