What's the DX10 deal?

[Ageeb]

Isn't the geometry shader a new inclusion for DX10? If so, any guesses as to why there isn't any talk of it for R600/G80 yet? It's not that far off to be that secretive is it?

Either way, sounds like a neat feature and was hoping to find out more about it...

Hmm, well the G80 is out with a boom, check out the numerous threads at this forum as well as tons at [H] and XS... We still dont know much about R600 but it should be available in Q1 07. :)

Anandtech's writeup of the 8800 includes lots of info about DX10. I read it but don't remember all the details. Go check it out the answer should be in there.

Excellent, ty. The article verified geometry shaders in G80.
