Shader Model 4.0 Not supported?

[Mkilbride]

SM4.0 is DX10's shader. What I mean though is, there is absolutely NO REASON for PhysX and DX10 to be linked. NO REASON.

SM4. IS dx 10? See now that I didn't know. Ugh i'm so disappointed. I can sort of kind of see why DX10 and physX could be linked... But I dont think it is completely int his game Mkil.

I mean I still had PhysX even without SM4, It just wasn't as great or whatever probably.. I dont know what i'm talking about now haha.

Just really angry at XP for being stupid and not supporting great things. So how is windows 7. Truthfully?, I'M running 32 bit xp right now on a 64 bit processor, so it might do me some good to switch.

Well if they wanted to make everyone happy they could have released PhysX for Shader Model 2 and 3 as well Then the performance would be SLOOOW with PhysX turned on, after all PhysX is designed for DX10, even though it works with DX9. Then people would complain about the even worse FPS in this game under DX9.

Do you guys understand now?

PS. Shader Model 4 is Direct3D 10s shader, so your above statement makes no sense at all.

[luciann22]

What doesn't make sense. I never said anything all I did was say something with a question mark after it. Besides me running PhysX still apperently even without SM4. yeah I know it still runs duh and it does lag cuz its harsh on the GPU or whatever it decides to use. My main point is that It sucks that XP doesn't support SM4. Which in turn links to PhysX, which is also Direct 3d 10.. like you said.. whatever either way its all Xp's fault. And theres no way i'm switching to vista JUST for that...thats BS.

And I also asked how is windows 7. Thanks for totally ignoring that part and just wanting to be right instead. Get off your podium. Som1 needs to end this thread now that my question has been answered.

PhysX is not designed for DX10. Don't make up bullshit. PhysX was COMPLETELY SEPERATE ORIGINALLY. PhysX can be used with CUDA, which is ALSO SEPERATE FROM DX10. They are not inter-linked in anyway.

[luciann22]

I hope you're not telling me this, all i did was repeat what the guy on the podium said. and try to make sense of it because honestly I don't understand.

Anyways stop replying stop arguing EVERYBODY

my question was ANSWERED.

Shader model 4.0 IS NOT SUPPORTED BY XP. which I am very disappointed now in xp..><

[JuggernautOfWar]

I meant in this game PhysX and Direct3D10 are linked. In most other applications they are completely separate.

I would appreciate it if you would stop putting '!' marks after most things you say and capitalizing around half of your text, implying you are yelling at each other and me.

Thanks...

[luciann22]

The only !, on this whole page is from you and well me now .

And Ps. I capitalize things as in highlighting the important stuff. Speak for yourself.

Thanks.. Stop replying now trying to get the last word and be right. It's really old.

This was my thread now i'm ending it.
