Nvidia expected to offer DirectX 10.1 GPU in Q1 2009

http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/38247/135/

Chicago (IL) – Nvidia so far declined to provide any information if and when the company will consider support the DirectX 10.1 API in its GPUs, a technology than is integrated AMD’s Radeon cards for some time now. Roadmap information we stumbled across today offers a bit more clarity and suggests that the company’s next-generation desktop and notebook chips will support DirectX 10.1.

DirectX 10.1 has been a confusing story for most of us, with no clear indication which graphics card you should buy to be able to get access to the best feature set. ATI Radeon cards as well as S3 have been supporting DirectX 10.1 for a while now, but Nvidia remains silent about its future API plans – leaving the gaming market and its customers in uncertainty.

A presentation slide we received, but unfortunately cannot share with you in order to protect our source, clearly states that Nvidia will offer DirectX 10.1 support with its next-generation notebook GPUs that are scheduled for a spring 2009 release. DirectX 10.1 is also likely to be offered in the next desktop GPU generation, which should debut either late in Q4 2008 or Q1 2009, with a possible ramp throughout Q1 and Q2 of 2009.

So, what does that mean? Well, it depends on your view.

What we know for sure is that with Nvidia’s decision to now support DX10.1, the industry will be embracing this API.

On the very high end, it may mean that you should think twice spending $500 or more on a DX10.0 card. DX10.1 cards may be the better value proposition, if you want to run the latest games and don’t want to buy another $500 card six months from now. Nvidia’s new GPU generation, we hear, will also be 1.5 to 2 times faster than the current technology.

This decision may also have some implications for AMD. Realistically, AMD has a six-month advantage over Nvidia in terms of API support right now and also appears to have competitive hardware in place as well. If AMD plays this game smart, it should be able to regain market share, as the 4800 series may be the more attractive technology for computer graphics at this time – at least for those of us with a limited budget.

Oh, and we almost forgot: Nvidia will also switch to GDDR5 memory, most likely within 2008. As GDDR5 chips are more available we expect first Nvidia GDDR5 cards to hit the market in Q4

tg的消息我以为还是有点可靠度的

NV G8X/G9X/GT200是超规格的，AMD所谓的DX10.1某些方面也只是噱头。NV向来没有跟风的做法，而是直接超越对手的规格。不过这也造成多数第一代产品性能不理想。

NV以前的作风用来应付ATI还是蛮合理的.........


当AMD充分消化了ATI后.........NV面对的对手已经不是之前的ATI那么单纯了.........


最近几天腰斩的股值可见NV的前景......:sweatingbullets:

自己打自己嘴巴了，一会说10.1没用，一会说支持，NFAN高兴成这样。看来心底是想支持的。

股价下跌也可能是恶意砸盘和吸筹的表现，待劲爆消息推出后迅速拉升。

good，干不过别人就开始放空头消息，nv一贯作风。

可怜的刺客信条……感觉被nv耍了一把呀

看来DX10.1是打压不下去了，还是支持了吧

GT200 根本就是去年的东西，按照NV和ATI显卡设计团队都是两条线走的模式，年底推出新品很正常

DX11兼容DX10.1的

原来如此{ninja:]

也许预示着MS不会很早发布DX11至少不会很早发布DX11单独安装包，而且DX10.x的生命周期可能不短。
