DX10 Another Over Hyped Microsoft Fiasco

I never dreamed that reading through my copy of MaximumPC Saturday would ruin my weekend but it did.

The specific source of my unhappiness was an article on real life video tests using top of the line video cards and DX10 applications.

Keep in mind that when I say “top of the line” I am talking about video cards in the $500-$600 dollar range. Well above the price point of the DX10 video card I bought earlier this year.

After reading the article it looks like this round of new technology is going to be no different than in the past. Meaning that many of us who have DX9 cards still run our applications in DX7 for performance and once we upgrade to a DX10 card we will most likely prefer to run them with DX9 settings.

The reason behind this is that DX9 will be the most efficient use of the new video cards. Of course technically a nice new DX10 video card and a DX10 application will look better than it would under DX9 but who wants to take on average a 30% performance hit on frame rates that are pretty low to begin with?

From memory most of the new DX10 application when run at 1920x1200 (the new 24” widescreen resolution) were getting around 25 Frames Per Second when using the DX10 driver.

I could be wrong but I don’t see a big market for $600 video cards to get 25 Frames Per Second.

So thanks MaximumPC for the wake up call. That dream of DX10 was nice but it’s much better to live in the real world. Because it’s the real world that takes my real money and my real happiness is most often found when properly matched with real expectations.

Google Too Powerful?

With Google recently acquiring a new phone service called GrandCentral to add to its list of companies, there is current debate on whether Google has become too powerful. With current companies under the total control of Google such as youtube, GrandCentral, blogger, feedburner, and Google Earth, has Google gone to far with their influence or are they simply trying to provide better experiences for users. Google has even gone as far as providing wireless internet for the entire city of San Francisco using their own hardware. With AT&T being broken up by the government by anti-trust laws, there are many who think the same thing should happen to Google. There is currently a unique discussion on the tech-army blog forums involving Google and its impact.

Free Software = Free Trouble

Ever see those shows on TV where they sell PC’s that have over a thousand dollars worth of free software on them? They make you think that if you buy their system you will get all the software you would ever need. The reality is this sort of software is anything but free or useful. Many companies and individuals actually end up paying more than the purchase price of the hardware when they have to pay to get that software of their PC. To read more about the “free software gimmick” check out the Tech-Army.org Computer Software Forums.
