Direct3D 10 and December SDK Update

Categories: General Posted by pieterg on 12/12/2005 9:24 AM | Comments (50)

Today marks the dawn of a new era. The Direct3D10 Technical preview has been launched bundled together with the latest DirectX 9 SDK update. The Direct3D10 Technical Preview"The Direct3D 10 Technology Preview showcases the newest set of graphics APIs for games and other high-performance multimedia applications on next-generation graphics hardware. This technology preview provides reference material, conceptual content, developer libraries, tutorials and samples that demonstrate how to use Direct3D 10. Additional content will provided in upcoming SDK releases. Samples and applications built with the Direct3D 10 December 2005 Technology Preview require the Windows Vista December 2005 CTP to run. The Windows Vista December 2005 CTP is available to MSDN subscribers.Instantiating a Direct3D 10 hardware device requires Direct3D 10-capable graphics hardware with a Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver. As of the release of this Technology Preview, such hardware is not publicly available. A software fallback (the Direct3D 10 reference rasterizer) is provided.For more information (including known limitations of this Technology Preview), refer to the Microsoft DirectX SDK ReadMe.To access the Direct3D 10 documentation, click the Start Menu, choose All Programs, Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005), and select "Documentation for Direct3D 10". To access the ReadMe, click the Start Menu, choose All Programs, Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005), and select "Microsoft DirectX SDK ReadMe"." A summary of that will bring you to the conclusion that without armed with the Vista operating system you won t be able to play with this remarkable API from Microsoft. Also if you can you might notice a significant performance hit due to the fact that it s running a reference rasterizer which means that it s emulating hardware and not physically doing the processing on the GPU. It s getting there though and I hope that we see many more of such community involvement from the guys on the DirectX team and thanks to David Weller for the heads up. Till next time.

I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post

Took me time to read all the comments, but I really enjoyed the article. It proved to be Very helpful to me and I am sure to all the commenters here! It's always nice when you can not only be informed, but also entertained! I'm sure you had fun writing this article.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

Valuable information and excellent design you got here! I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and time into the stuff you post!! Thumbs up

I was looking for crucial information on this subject. The information was important as I am about to launch my own portal. Thanks for providing a missing link in my business.

This is my first time i visit here. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.

This article gives the light in which we can observe the reality. this is very nice one and gives indepth information. thanks for this nice article

This is a really good read for me, Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article.

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

Excellent post & Great blog! I would definitely like to start a blog too but I have no clue where to begin. I possess the abilities to do it (not that hard on the practical part) but I feel like I am just too lazy to post on a regular basis... That's the thing, if you get started you need to go all the way...

What an notion! What a concept! Nice.!.

Although I would’ve preferred if you went into a little bit more detail, I still got the gist of what you meant. I agree with it. It might not be a popular idea, but it makes sense. Will definitely come back for more of this. Great work

Thank you very much for providing this post.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.

Great information that is much appreciated. Thank you for providing such interesting content in my quest to lose the flab.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Hey I just got a popup from my firewall when I opened your site do you know why this occured? Could it possibly from your ads or something? Thanks, really odd I hope it was harmless?

Hi. I just noticed that your site looks like it has a few code problems at the very top of your blog's page. I'm not sure if everybody is getting this same bugginess when browsing your website? I am employing a totally different browser than most people, referred to as Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I just wanted to make sure you know. Thanks for posting some great postings and I'll try to return back with a completely different browser to check things out!

Superb blog post!!

When trading foreign exchange, you are quoted a dealing spread offering you a buying and a selling level for your trade. Once you accept the offered price and receive confirmation from our dealers, the trade is done. There is no need to call an exchange floor. There are no other time-consuming delays. This is possible due to live streaming prices, which are also a great advantage in times of fast-moving markets: You can see where the market is trading and you know whether your orders are filled or not.

The post is in reality the excellent on this worthy subject. I fit in together with your conclusions and searching forward to your coming updates. Just saying many thanks won't just be sufficient, for the wonderful clarity in your writing. I have grabbed your rss feed to remain informed of any updates. Gratifying work and a lot success in your business dealings!

Thank you for this game, it really does wonders! Though it isn't all that enjoyable, yet fun!

You address an interesting issue on that stuff. For me you described it in a professional way. Hope you go further in this way, with your unique way of writing

Wow, thank you for this post. It works like a charm. I'm sorry to say that I doubted this at first.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
