http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspxSo it’s the first day of summer! As part of the celebration, I wanted to talk about and show progress on FSX-DX10. First, though, let’s talk what I can show and when, as well as requirements for FSX-DX10. I am not here to talk features. Not yet anyways.enCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#3448853Fri, 22 Jun 2007 01:04:55 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3448853SilentGenie<P>Great news Phil, looks like FSX is gonna be amazing after the release of DX10 not that it aint already :) gonna build a new rig over the next month with 2 8800GTX in sli, will fsx ever support SLI ? i have 1 8800gtx already and it really helps fsx but obviously two would be better. thanks for keeping us informed</P>http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#3449103Fri, 22 Jun 2007 01:26:23 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3449103sclincoln<p>Speaking of multi-monitor support, I have the Matrox Triple Head 2 Go on my system. &nbsp;Will it still work with DX10, or does that change something fundamental enough to screw it up? &nbsp;I'm assuming it doesn't matter, but I really don't know enough about how it works to say for sure.</p>http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#3449466Fri, 22 Jun 2007 01:57:43 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3449466Phil Taylor<p>SCLincoln:</p> <p>thats really a question for Matrox. </p> http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#3476238Sat, 23 Jun 2007 12:35:13 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3476238Aberforth<P>I tested some of the Dx10 sample codes from Nvidia Developer site...but performance is really horrible especially when rendering smoke, water etc. Is it becuase of DX10 or crappy 8800 drivers? I want to know if the current high end dx10 cards are capable of handling dx10 smoothly?</P> <P>glad to know you guys are making some progress...</P>http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#3507522Mon, 25 Jun 2007 03:16:29 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3507522Phil Taylor<P>Aberforth:</P> <P>what DX10 features are used in that sample, and how does it make use of them?</P> <P>Geometry Shader is definitely shaky in 1st generation, for all IHVs. Anything past 4x expansion is probably not performant, and that is becaues thats what point sprites do/are already so that level of vertex expansion has already been going on.</P> <P>Other features I'd have to look at the sample code. I do know the DX10 drivers are incrementally getting better all the time, so that is some help as well.</P>http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#3656624Mon, 02 Jul 2007 09:31:55 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3656624Ian McPhail<P>Thanks for this really informative article, and your intention to provide a continuing series of comments. &nbsp; I also have a matrox triplehead but I can't see in logic that there should be any problem. &nbsp;My main concern is fullscreen which is a feature of matrox, and necessary to get pop-ups on to a fourth screen. &nbsp;I will be interested in your reports as you work on this aspect.</P>http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/21/summer-is-here-and-so-is-the-start-of-info-about-fsx-dx10.aspx#4300792Thu, 09 Aug 2007 03:19:10 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4300792PTaylor's WebLog<p>It is time to update everyone on the progress we have made on the FSX-SP2(DX10) release.
