| fatslob-:O said: Once again your ignorance on the topic of hardware has taken over. Dude go back to school and learn some actual coding. You realize that the word "tier" in this case stands for the feature that is a part of the api not level's of hardware support. Do you even know how PRT's/tiled resourcing works ? Oh and btw the update on the hardware was to give it api compatibility not to support those features, I'm surprised that you don't even know how an api works. |
I'm sorry you're wrong. There are two distinctions to DirectX. The hardware feature level and the API support level. This is a fact.
The hardware does not need to be at the same feature level as the API in order to support features of the API. This is also a fact.
This is coming from AMD themselves. That is also a fact.
The Xenos processor in the Xbox 360 was a DirectX 9_0 hardware feature level compatible processor, but it still supported DirectX 10 API features. Not every DirectX feature requires hardware support.
By the way. I've coded in C++, C#, Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic Script, Java, Java Script, PERL, SQL, and HTML. I've written from scratch software to take a server from bare metal to a fully configured and operational box.
What the heck have you done? Until you have something substantial to contribute to this discussion, please stop commenting!
Oh, and by the fucking way. I was on the President's List and Dean's List of my college with a 4.0 in Computer Science, and I can prove it to the moderators if they would like.
You tell me how Sony, who was way ahead of Microsoft by all accounts, would be able to implment DirectX 11.2 when Microsoft revealed features that even AMD wasn't aware of? Then try to explain to me why Microsoft, who had been working on DirectX 11.2 wouldn't have a GPU that fully supports the hardware feature set for DX11.2? Albert Penello asked nearly that same question.
GCN 1.0 GPUs do not support the DX11_1 feature set. GCN 1.1 GPUs do. AMD in the press release even stated, specifically that they were proud to be the only GPU manufacturer offered a fully DX11.2 compatible GPU stack in a retail product. The nod, not to the Xbox One, but to the Bonaire GPU. THE ONLY GCN 1.1 GPU.
So once again, just be quiet.
You can try to insult me all you want. It won't do any good because the fact of the matter is, the source material I've linked to multiple times to specific content comes from solid sources. So if you want to go down this road, please do.
