Hmmm theres gta vice city that uses direct x 9 hmmm errr any else:confused:

Basically, there's still not a huge demand for DX9 yet.
There are a few titles out there, but the choice is limited for now.

[rugbydude]

which is why dx10 aint out till 2004:D

[homeworld1031tx]

Really?, i haven't heard of any DX9 title shipping. Is Planetside DX9? What are some of the DX9 titles?

[rugbydude]

Errr i only know of GTA:VC.....:o

[E^vol]

Doom3 / HalfLife2 I believe ! -not that they're out yet-

From what I've seen lately it would appear that both ATI and Nvidia are almost mirroring each other, here are the latest
(rumoured) specs.

NV40: 0.13u process, 200m+ transistors, DX9.1 support, Q3/2003-Q1/2004 release
R400: 0.13u process, 200m+ transistors, DX9.1 support, Q3/2003-Q1/2004 release*
NV50: 0.09u process, 300m+ transistors, DX10 support, 2005 release
R500: 0.09u process, 300m+ transistors, DX10 support, 2005 release

Reportedly both ATI and Nvidia want to skip the 0.11u process, and move straight on to a 90 nanometer core.

*AKA the R420

Neither wants to be viewed as having inferior technology ! :shh:
