Direct X"Xbox360 cannot run DX10."

That much is clear and simple from ATI, chips manufacturing company for game consoles. The statement came as a response to previous rumors that the Xbox 360 could receive an upgrade for the Microsoft DirectX API.

Through a spokesperson, ATI reiterated further that, "The Xbox360 has unique features including memory export that can enable DX10-class functionality such as stream-out. From what we're hearing, Crysis will support DX9 with some sort of use for DX10 features. It's likely that those DX10 visuals can be replicated on the Xbox360, but it can't be properly called DX10."

According to the buzz that spread just last week, the Xbox 360 would be upgraded to DirectX 10 through a patch that will enable easier cross-platform development of games.

Yes the 360 an not run DX10 BUT, as he said it can "enable DX10-class functionality". I bet you wont see a noticable differance between Crysis on the 360 / pc.

stop bashing other systems.

I don't understand why xbox people and ps3 people can't either just get along or just stay on thier own pages. Xbox 360 mite not be able to run DX10 but I really don't care. Thats not going to make me want to buy a ps3. I enjoy my xbox 360 because it has great games, good graphics, and xbox live is the best online system out there and for me there is nothing sony or nintendo can do to top it. I am buying a nintendo Wii simply because the games look fun, I'm not buying a ps3 because it has no exclusive titles that interest me. The point is don't bash other systems there's really no reason for it each one is helping the gaming community grow more each in different ways. Xbox 360 is good for online games Wii is good for fun addictive games Ps3 is good for media functionality

What's the big deal?

""The Xbox360 has unique features including memory export that can enable DX10-class functionality such as stream-out. From what we're hearing, Crysis will support DX9 with some sort of use for DX10 features. It's likely that those DX10 visuals can be replicated on the Xbox360, but it can't be properly called DX10." " So, what is so bad about this news? And yeah, #1 has no life, go look at any other newspost with semi-bad news for 360 or semi-good news for PS3 and he'll be there, with the same old bad grammar and "PS3 FTW!!!!" And don't forget the most unoriginal name on QJ, "-" I think he's scared...

XNA

i was under the impression that XNA was going to be replacing DirectX anyway, or did I miss-read that a long time ago? and to #1, its "Microsoft's DirectX" so saying that because 360 doesnt offically support v10 it sucks, where would that leave the PS3? stupid people and their double standards.... i wish someone could just smack some 'smarts' into you, or at least smack you..

...

Yeah, funny thing is PS3 can't even do DirectX 1, so 360 FTW you loser....get your facts straight before you try to bash something. OpenGL and Direct3D are totally different, but you're an idiot so I guess you didn't know that...

wow

"According to the buzz that spread just last week, the Xbox 360 would be upgraded to DirectX 10 through a patch that will enable easier cross-platform development of games." ummm, yeah that's impossible. You need directx 10 capable hardware. You can't just install a patch and magicly have directx 10.

Hmm

No directx10 support isn't really a big deal PS3 wont support it either ..But if i remember correctly that was one of the feature sets Microsoft claimed Xenos had from day one.. so it's kind of interesting to see they were full of it.

Idiologs without ActiveX isn't this topic a wash?

Resent persutes have take the online gaming experience as the leading edge for visual rendering in the GBA areas of deployment. While the introduction of wi-fi 2.0 for Xbox 360 lends for the advanced cafe club; for their router sepperation and clocking.
