Geforce 8800 GT doesn't do DirectX 10.1

[Anusha]

Documents seen by Fudzilla indicates that G92/D8P aka the Geforce 8800 GT is not Shader model 4.1 compatible. It can mean one of two things, one, that Nvidia doesn't want release the information or two, simply that this chip doesn't have support for Shader model 4.1 and DirectX 10.1.


This comes as an interesting surprise as we know that the RV670 aka the Radeon HD 2950 series will support Shader model 4.1 and DirectX 10.1.


We will ask around and try to find out if this is the case, but this would be a big setback for Nvidia, at least when it comes to feature tick boxes on upcoming games.

8800GT is supposed to be a less performed card compared to 8800GTS

But I saw somewhere that it will feature 112 shader processors. FYI, 8800GTS has only 96 SPs.

AFAIK there is a 8800GTS which has 112SPs also,apart from the 96SPs

My Next Desktop card is ATI HD2950X2X.It will out next Q1-08 .ATI video playback and gaming quality is great .My 8800GTX sucks!!!
I know ATI HD2900XT can't beat 8800GTX right now !but it beat 8800GTS and sometimes GTX too.HD2950X2X have 2 GPUs like GF 7950GX2.

ATi's image quality was better than Nvdia counterparts 2 generations earlier.. there is no tangible proof that 2900 series gpus perform better than the 8800 series quality wise
