Why does Xbox360 list under DirectX9.0c?

Does it not use a custom API?

I believe it does yes, although it shares more similarities with dx9.0c than any other directX version.

It uses custom API with featureset something between DX9.0(c) and DX10 + some features not supported in DX10 IIRC.
DX9.0c is no doubt the closest match for it in the PC world though

I've always referred to it as "DX9.5", because it can do things that DX9 can't, and can't do things that DX10 can.

It does tesselation so there's one thing not present in DX10.

on that subject do you know of any title that uses tesselation or memexport since dx10 doesn't support it either

 

[woundingchaney]

Is there any 360 titles that use/rely memexport. I remember quite a bit of talk about it a year or so back but Im unsure if anything ever came to light using the tech.

Run a thread search on Memexport in the console tech forums.

IIRC at least the Pinata game uses tesselation, propably there's others too

 

[scently]

according to their pdf it actually uses tesselation and memexport i guess my question is is their any other title that uses it. and please alstrong searching those oldthread doesnt reveal much as they are rather old threads

We use tesselation/memexport system for heightmaps in Alone in the dark too.

I think it uses it on the PC with ATI 3/4xxx series cards as well. DX10 or no!

That is cool. Any interesting quirks or tidbits that you would be willing to imply...maybe in a PM?

Interesting, can you tell us how these functions would be handled in the PC version? Both for ATI 3/4xxx hardware and others without the tesselator?
