What is with the rumor mill flying that MS may be about to change or evolve past DirectX? I read that they sent an email to developers who were shocked but have denied it in public.
Is DirectX not bloated anyways? When i run latencymon DX and Nvdisp have the highest latency in the whole system by over four times any other process sometime 130us.
With consoles being closed PC's and apparantly PS4 using 8 cores i dont see the difference in the two if the API was unified.Consoles could basically be steam boxes with gabes linux,microsofts windows and whatever sony/ms want for the 720 but crucially sharing the same API?
I think it is a bit silly and dont hold up much hope as what would be the point of a playstation when the PC would essentially be the same? Or could they even have upgradable Graphics cards inside the playstation? I forsee a melting pot where two become one but in reality with the profits sony have i cannot see anyone letting go of the monopolies each factions holds to unify the whole gaming market.
Thoughts people? Do i have the wrong end of the stick as to understanding of the API's?
