ATI videocard for Vista
I have been a user of ATI videocards for graphics and video capture
for a long time. But that was under the operating system XP. Now that Vista has been released, I am wondering if ATI has released any videocard compatible (for DirectX 10) and tested by Microsoft for the new operating system. Has ATI released the drivers for capture and a Multi-media Center along with the driver for the new videocard? P. Jayant |

Aero's minimum requirements are a DX9 card with pixel shader 2.0 and 64Mb dedicated video RAM. The DX10 API s is primarily for gaming in new titles like COD4, Bioshock and Crysis to name a few. And currently, the visual differences between DX9.0c and DX10 are very minimal. The performance hit gaming in DX10 (which by necessity means using Vista) is not minimal. ATI and its manufacturing partners have a number of 3000 series DX10 cards with excellent graphics VIVO ability as well as DX10 good gaming power. But it's quite possible the card you are currently using will work just fine . What are you using? |

How does someone logically decide that it's necessary to go to a Usenet newsgroup in order to find out if one of the top two display adapter/gpu companies (ATI now owned by AMD) produces hardware compatible with an operating system from Microsoft that's been out for over a year? I typed in ati.com into my browser and two clicks later I see "Experience the power of HD Gaming with DirectX® 10.1." under the description of one of the cards they sell. Another couple of clicks and you've got all the info you could want. I'm having trouble sleeping and might be just being a bit snarky but the original post should have been prefaced with, "I'm ignorant, just crawled out from under a rock and I'm incapable of using the world wide web, let alone google." -- "Out here on the perimeter there are no stars" Steve --Inglo-- |

Yup. Snarky. I know this because your description matches half of usenet... |

One very good reason for posting the question in a Usenet newsgroup is to get a response from individuals who may already have gone down this route, rather than rely on the often optomistic claims by manufacturers about drivers and compatibility. One very good reason for not posting the question to a Usenet newsgroup is that there always seems to be at least one intolerent idiotic individual who wants to make fun at someoene else's expense. |
