DirectX 9.0c in new Windows XP SP2 build 2126

"If anyone has a Geforce 6800 and Frycry! How about a doing us a true PS3.0 Movie." Well as far as I know, even with DirectX 9.0c you will not see PS3.0 in Farcry (as said a guy with 9.0c beta) We will have to wait for a new Farcry PS 3.0 Patch (or PS 3.0 mod as they call it). Perhaps also wait for new Forceware Drivers?

PS 3.0 isn't going to add ANY eye-candy to Far Cry that you can't already get, it should just help a bit with performance. The big question is how much will it help, that's what I want to know. There will be no visual differences between PS 2.0+ & PS 3.0 though, that one has been pretty thoroughly covered. ;)

it's called FUD there will be a LOT of it till they stop milking old tech and release their own dx 9c card (r5xx), and then it'll suddenly BE the re-invention of sliced bread.

yeah I will ... but not now ...

That's the fun bit, it's still all speculation at this point. You are correct, I mistook "SM" for "PS"...but it's still not going to bring any new effects, it should just help performance. I could be wrong and you could be right, we should all find out pretty soon either way. 8)

yes, it is, there was much nvidia bashing from ati because it's parts weren't fully dx 9 compliant, and now ati expect you to swallow it for 9.0c.
