DX9 Delayed until Q1 '03?

[SvP]

Another reason for postponing the DX9 could be nomerous fixes that have been made available on Windows Update - even Microsoft has limited bandwith.

Now, for the question that actually matters - Where's the SDK?

Search on MS:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...t=&DisplayLang=en&DisplayEnglishAlso=

Here's the direct link to the SDK:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...363-47fd-8f3b-36c226e04c85&DisplayLang=en

And a link to the "Redist"

I doubt we'll see "Futuremark 2003/DX9" anytime soon.

LOL, just like the people who foretold a 256 bit bus 8X2 piped NV30 right?

Uh I have NEVER said 256bit bus . 8x2 seemed logical from Nvidia's OpenGL presentations on NV30 features where they said 16 texture units .

Shrug...

As to Futuremark 2003/DX9 I meant the DX9 version of 3dmark/Futuremark (whatever) . For that , you'll have to take my word for . We'll see "3DMark 2003" sometime after today's release.

As to the whole DX9 mess , shrug I was wrong. But I'm not sure if it's appropiate to say what caused me to post what I did...

Nope, it was a clarification.

My post was regarding those conspiracy theories that blamed the MS DX9 delay on the relationship between MS and NVIDIA. In particular the whole idea that DX9 would be delayed until the GFFX was out, to 'align' the release. And of course the ranting that ensued.

That's all folks....

I know now, it wasn't on MS's site at all when I posted that question.

I trust you are not including me as one of "those", because that was not the point of my original post...

I was referring to some other people in this post

Heh, I think Doom was talking about me. Shrug.... I'm human . Anyway , anyone else having a OpenGL issue with the new drivers? I"m having issues with Jedi Knight II stuttering in Catalyst 3.0 and DX9

 

[Tahir2]

Hey Joe,

I got a chuckle out of reading through this thread to see who would be the first to spring the news....*chuckle* and it looks like it was you! Congrats!! *ching, ching, ching*!!!!........ 8)

Irony is it was your thread in the beginning! See what horrible things come of reading "NV news"....? *chuckle*

Could you imagine thinking a "news site" called "ATInews" might be objective? .... This was pretty funny!

Merry Christmas--ho,ho,ho! Merry Christmas one and all! Merr---

BAH! HUMBUG!
