And I thought it was just a 11.1 update, so they are actually calling it 11.2 then interesting.

Just another API that makes it easy for developers. Now they won't have to do any special work to basically stream in new textures, or buy into an engine that already does it.

Nice try, but no 
That's not what texture tiling is or does. Virtual texturing takes one huge texture and splits it up into tiles; for each tile there's still separate detail levels (mipmap), so as you get closer it loads better quality. It resembles texture streaming in that it goes up as you get closer, but unlike streaming it never loads the whole texture.
No engine other than Tech 4.1 does this and they fucked it up. This stuff is especially good for terrain and large obviously, as MS' demo showed. Allows them to create huge textures and use them at just a fraction of their real size, because all the game loads are small tiles (64k for AMD's PRT, not sure what the limit is in this one). for the parts that need it. |

Microsoft : We listened to people , they raged ... so we think they like RAGE , thats why our win8.1 will have dx11.2 so you can play RAGE. We think megatexture will help our console be nr1 again.

Win 8 with "Startisback" is actually an improved Win 7. I enjoy it that way... no more metro!

This is actually a very smart thing. Now, as I'd hate to see MS pulling their tech train alone and exclusively on theirs latest OS versions, I really hope a version of it may be implemented into OpenGL.

AMD already built an extension for OpenGL. Sadly doesn't work for Nvidia, but OpenGL extensions rarely do (work on both major vendors). So if Nvidia want to, they can easily do it. |

The Xbone comes with 32MB of ESRAM so it's probably why they are promoting this feature.

I'm just hoping when 8.1 is out (not the preview) that M$ don't do something to kill off every Start menu program like the above so it forces people to use their Start Screen.... I like my Start button ! Yeah 8 is okay with Startisback.

It was to be expected though. MS are going for "MS Exclusive" shit, which means Windows 8 + tvtvtvtvtvtvtv. Windows 8 is shit on desktops in the sense that it requires some tinkering to get rid of immensely tablet focused UI, but underneath it's still very much the same OS with some nice improvements (the file transfer dialogs are win).
Personally? Don't care. I'll install 8 if I have to, I only use my PC for gaming and browsing anymore so Metro wouldn't even really bother me. Work I do on my laptop so...meh. |
