"SIGGRAPH 2007 was the stage where Microsoft dropped the bomb, informing gamers that the currently available DirectX 10 hardware will not support the upcoming DirectX 10.1 in Vista SP1. In essence, all current DX10 hardware is now obsolete. But don't get too upset just yet: 'Gamers shouldn't fret too much - 10.1 adds virtually nothing that they will care about and, more to the point, adds almost nothing that developers are likely to care about. The spec revision basically makes a number of things that are optional in DX10 compulsory under the new standard - such as 32-bit floating point filtering, as opposed to the 16-bit current. 4xAA is a compulsory standard to support in 10.1, whereas graphics vendors can pick and choose their anti-aliasing support currently. We suspect that the spec is likely to be ill-received. Not only does it require brand new hardware, immediately creating a minuscule sub-set of DX10 owners, but it also requires Vista SP1, and also requires developer implementation.'"


在 SIGGRAPH 2007上，微軟扔下了一枚重型炸彈：現在的DirectX 10硬體將不能支援接下來在Vista SP1中包含的DirectX 10.1。
換句話說，現在市面上所有的DX10顯卡就這麼廢了！不過微軟方面稱玩家們不用太擔心，因為DX10.1中所更新的內容對玩家來說並無太大影響。
比如將當前的16位浮點運算升級為了32位，並且4xAA對於DX10.1來說成為了一個強制性的要求，而當前是可以選擇的。
我們懷疑微軟推出DX10.1的時機，簡直不太可能會成功，你得不僅擁有一塊新的顯卡，還得裝上Vista SP1，最後，還得贏得開發者的支持。這在短期內可能麼？
