Last week we explained that the integrated chipset Intel g45 will originally support DirectX 10, the speed level will be three times faster than previous solution. Intel company already promised to inculcate in its integrated chipset directX 10 support , relying on their advanced programmed architecture. However, until now, these attempts did not get success, if we speak about the existing integrated chipset.
In the description of chipset Intel g35 characteristics there are references about directX 10 and Shader model 4.0 support. DirectX 10 and Shader model 4.0 support with chipset Intel g35 will be added with the corresponding drivers. The current drivers version (15.61) allow the chipset Intel g35 to support only shader model 3.0, and the release of new drivers with directX 10 support is planned for the first quarter 2008.
The announcement of chipset Intel g45, which will support DirectX 10 original, possess higher productivity and more developed functionality is also planed in this period, but in this case being in the same price categorie as predecessor . Under such conditions the introduction of directX 10 support for Intel g35 is doubtful.
