They mention the windows gl > dx result is due to dx having more overhead per batch.
You really see nothing wrong with either DX or IE?And why are you guys all so negative about Directx. It's almost as annoying as people whining about Internet explorer.
It depends on what you want but I want a lightwight browser with a clean interface. Ofcourse if you stopped using IE after version 7 of 8 you don't understand.hendu wrote:The original is in English

It's bad because it's non-standard and insecure, and for a long time it caused a phenomenon known as IE-only sites. Want to log to your bank? "Sorry, you need IE." It was that bad at its height, and not even only browser sniffing, actually broken sites.It depends on what you want but I want a lightwight browser with a clean interface.

Lock-in. Even if it cured cancer and made everything wonderful, it's horrible due to the lock-in.I'm not that experienced yet so I would like to know why you think Directx is so bad.
I hit a nerve it seems. Where do I continuously whine about it? I have one sentence in the off-topic section.And even if it is bad you don't have to continue whining about it
If you follow the link, the original source is Valve's blog.I don't know the original source but I doubt that that is "the" tech website.
Whats so insecure then?It's bad because it's non-standard and insecure, and for a long time it caused a phenomenon known as IE-only sites. Want to log to your bank? "Sorry, you need IE." It was that bad at its height, and not even only browser sniffing, actually broken sites.
If you want to just show how bad it is you don't have to overdo it. And everybody want everything to be wonderful (except gothics). And what exactly is lock-in?Lock-in. Even if it cured cancer and made everything wonderful, it's horrible due to the lock-in.
Technically, just like current IE, it's not too bad, discounting requiring C++, horrible style, and having little to no backward compatibility. It's the other qualities that make it bad.
Well a lot of people complain about IE or Directx but sorry for insulting you.I hit a nerve it seems. Where do I continuously whine about it? I have one sentence in the off-topic section.
My bad. But programmers still think they can make it evenly fast under DirectxIf you follow the link, the original source is Valve's blog
We have been doing some fairly close analysis and it comes down to a few additional microseconds overhead per batch in Direct3D which does not affect OpenGL on Windows. Now that we know the hardware is capable of more performance, we will go back and figure out how to mitigate this effect under Direct3D.
I can't name any general thing, you should just watch the security vulnerabilities flowing and make up your own mind.eejin wrote:Whats so insecure then?
I'm not the right person to explain that. The wikipedia page explains it pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendor_lock-inAnd what exactly is lock-in?
That's the deal, they most likely cannot. Only AMD, Nvidia etc can. (Or Microsoft, if it happens to be in common dx code and not the vendor part)My bad.
