Beyond DX9

[Skuzzy]

If you mean 'wong' as an expression, then the mistake is far worse; you've made nonsense.

Anyway.  I've already stated the advantages of DX11 over DX9:

And yet, everything you stated is wrong.  You have bought into the marketing of a product and have absolutely no technical basis for any of your claims.

Did you know AMD and NVidia have been in talks over producing a new graphical API to get around the bloat of DX11?  That is how bad the performance is.  Thier hardware is being strangled by the overhead.

The rest is just nonsense.  Just because Microsoft provides a library function for something does not mean it cannot be done in any other version of DirectX.

Is there a reason they don't just start promoting the use of OpenGL?  Or is it just as bloated as DX?

Either way, a mass exodus away from DirectX would be awesome, as I would no longer feel the need to run Windows... (Hooray Linux! )

OpenGL moves too slowly to adopt new hardware features.  The support for it is quite inconsistent as well.

So Skuzzy says it, so it shall be.  I hereby retract the wish.

Actually, NVidia and AMD/ATI said it.  The rest is easy enough to prove just by writting some code to do comparisons, instead of buying into the marketing speak.

No one has to take my word for anything.
