alanschu Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 They're bringing DX10 to the 360. This is not up for disagreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokishi Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 So basically Xbox can do DX10 graphics but will lag more than real DX10. Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haitoku Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 So basically Xbox can do DX10 graphics but will lag more than real DX10. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd guess more a long the lines of "faking" it. Such as certain games using fake HDR... looks nice, but it's just not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 This is why I thought we should wait. It wouldn't matter, Epiphany, even if you were right. It's simply unseemly to gloat in the first place and it's silly to gloat before the match is over. I don't say that with any animosity. Imagine how much worse it would be if I had not edited your original comments? You'd have a whole year of crow on which to dine. Please, folks, be adult and reasonable about these consoles. Don't go vendetta on each other over a gaming rig.

mkreku Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Uhm.. A 286 could do DirectX10 with the right emulation software. That still doesn't mean its hardware supports DirectX10. Same with the Xbox 360, it will have to emulate some parts of the DirextX10 specifications. It will be slower, but it will still have the same functionality (probably).

Bokishi Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 A 286 will spontaneously combust and melt to goo if it tries to emulate DX10. Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) I'm actually not sure it could emulate it properly, given the architecture of the chip. I suppose anything is possible. Edited August 25, 2006 by alanschu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Let's see if the Profit Man shows up to defend himself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He never does. Yesterday we reported on a rumor suggesting that ATI could make the Xbox360 Xenox graphics chip run DirectX 10. It was highly unlikely, and ATI han now cinfirmed that.

alanschu Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Does anyone else get the tune for Elton John's Rocket Man whenever they see Profit Man? As for the emulation, I imagine it'd be a real bugger. The 286 is a 16-bit processor, so it'd probably have to find ways to split instructions. Depending on memory constraints, you might need an outside memory manager to deal with extra addressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hmmmm...would the 286 even like multiple threads running at the same time? This emulator would have to be pretty intense (and even then still slow as hell). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else get the tune for Elton John's Rocket Man whenever they see Profit Man? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now I do. Actually, I did, but I didn't notice it as much until you mentioned it.
