| douken said: Your comment is neutral, though very console biased let me do one PC biased to level things out. What you say is true, console developers decide when the next generational leap comes. As I said in my last post. Since Xbox 360 and PS3 can't do better graphics than PC we'll all have to accostume to whatever graphics console developers can do in the consoles. There will be no graphical leap in PC gaming till the next generation of consoles. We've been stuck in DX9 for the past 3 years and it's the console's fault.
And yea, that GT5 image, it sure looks beatiful in PS3, far better than any racing game out there including PC. If Polyphony would have done GT5 PC exlusive it would look far better than that. That's a fact. |
The reason why PC games are/were stuck at Direct X 9 levels is simply because developers like to see either or both an improvement in performance or an obvious improvement in I.Q. for the same level of performance. Direct X 10 doesn't show much improvement except on really heavy graphical workloads on some monsterous cards (57xx+). Direct X 10.1/11 are what Direct X 10 should have been before Nvidias veto took out all the best bits to allow their simple but monsterous Direct X 9 based G80 (8800gtx) reign.
Direct X 11 is going to be implemented quite quickly because its easy to implement and it gives people either improved performance or noticeably better I.Q. and either way is a win. Also Win 6x (Vista / 7) adoption is close to tipping over to the majority vs Windows 5x (2000 / XP).
Tease.
