Nvidia finally embraces DirectX 10.1
We admit it's good and crunchy
Nvidia will start with mobile chips and afterwards, towards Q3 and later, it will release discrete desktop chips that will support DirectX 10.1 API.
After years of preaching how bad this is, Nvidia finally decided to include this API and this proves the fact which ATI has been stating for a while now - that DirectX 10.1 is actually better than DirectX 10.
This is a transition toward DirectX 11, something that Nvidia and ATI will aim for later this year and it's quite clear now that at least ATI can manage to launch a DirectX 11 chip before the end of the year, while we are not sure if Nvidia can pull the same feat off.
