Bad Example of DX9.0 vs DX10.0

Bad GIZMODO bad !!

DirectX 9.0 Screenshot ::

DirectX 10.0 Screenshot ::

The difference one would notice upfront in the 2 images is the sunlight peeping through the forest which is referred as HDR and that is,

High Dynamic Range. This is a lighting procedure designed to emulate the way that light levels in the real world vary over an enormous range. This is mostly achieved by the use of floating point textures and render targets (as well as using the appropriate lighting algorithm); integer formats do not offer the anywhere near the same range of values. Although visually better, the use of floating point formats can result in a large performance impact on some graphics adapters.

and Floating Point Textures and Render Targets (Buffer Objects) were introduced with Shader Model 3.0 ( DirectX 9.0c ) and not Shader Model 4.0 aka DirectX 10. Hence this is no example to differentiate between DX 9.0 and DX 10.

PS : I believe DX 10 rather Shader Model 4.0 is the biggest leap in the history of Graphics, hence I totally agree with the mightiness of Shader Model 4.0 but the way it is projected here is no right way to tell people about the difference.

Sergey, I meant Larry

Hey,

What will you do if you wish to find a page to Larry Page’s PhD work ? Hmmm, I googled for “Larry Page PhD” without quotes. The first page appears as http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey. A victim of Page Rank !!

Looking for Larry’s page, first deal with Sergey’s.

Lemon Tree

A sweet song,

When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
Dont put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me,
I fear youll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and I did a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One day she left without a word. she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
Shed left me for another, its a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
