TheInquirer learned that the upcoming red DirectX 10 ATI part also known as R600 might be the fastest card for the DirectX 9 titles as well. The point won't be to try to take the performance crown for the yet to come DirectX 10 titles, ATI rather wants to rule the current Direct X 9 market.

R600 will be designed to run DirectX 9 code just as fast as it is supposed to run Direct X 10 code. Unified Shaders apparently can run code that gives a toss about Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader just as fast. There will be an abstraction layer that will decide whether the information is pixel, vertex or geometry, and it will be served by an adequate hardware pipe. So we don't think that the DirectX 10 hardware should care that much about the DirectX 10 versus DirectX 10 code.

Old news TBH, welcome to the forums.

P.S. Why do people still read The Inquirer? I have exactly zero respect for anyone who writes "gives a ****" in a news article and tries to pass themself off for a journalist. :rolleyes: Not to mention that half their articles are total crap, I swear they just get paid to sit around making stuff up all day. I wish I had their job.
