DirectX 10 & the Future of Gaming - What will the benefits of DirectX 10 and a Unified Architecture be to gamers? What possibilities will there be with the future of gaming? We recently sat down with ATI to talk about DX10 and the possibilities with their next generation desktop GPU.
With less overhead the execution time is reduced. Currently with DirectX 9 for the most part, the API+Driver can take up to 40% of execution time. With DIRECTX 10 this is reduced in half allowing more time for the Game/Application. What this means is that the game content developer can insert more unique objects into their games creating a more immersive experience.
