Huddy spends his time liasing with games developers and learning what they want from hardware, and the way he tells it DirectX 10 is a bit of a mess and many of the ports of DirectX 9 games to DirectX 10 only add to the problem as they have been done poorly and kill performance.

AMD RADEON HD 3870 PRECIO UPDATE
As things stand, Vista and DirectX 10 have made very little impact on gamers so a point release may sound like a minor update but a few hours in the company of AMD’s Richard Huddy will persuade you otherwise. La AMD Radeon HD 8750M (algunas veces conocida como la ATI Mobility Radeon HD 8750) y una tarjeta de video DirectX 11.1 para porttiles.
The other tweak is support for DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1, which are scheduled to be part of Windows Vista Service Pack 1, due - fingers crossed - early next year. Internally, the 3870 is near-identical to the 2900 XT, although the reduction in core size has allowed AMD to add the UVD (Unified Video Decoder) video-processing core that was part and parcel of the 2600. The point is that Nvidia got its design for the 8800 pretty much on the money while AMD appeared to make a pig’s ear of the 2900.Īs part of the new makeover, AMD has adopted a numbering system that ditches the old Pro and XT suffixes so the new mainstream part is called the 3850 while this high-end part is the 3870. The new fabrication process is a good start but it doesn’t guarantee success as Nvidia has just introduced a 65nm process for the new 8800 GT and will presumably be using it for future GeForce 8-series GPUs. But after a quick die-shrink from 80nm to 55nm, the Radeon HD 2900 XT has been reborn as the Radeon HD 3870.
Review AMD's ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT wasn’t a bad graphics chip but it spent too long in development and failed to take the fight to Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 series.
