Direct3D 10 and 11

Question

Is there a big difference (in the encoding method ...) between direct3d sdk 10 and 11, for example, "it was" between direct3d 9 and 10?

thank

Answer 1

No. Not at all the philosophy and concepts of the D3D10 remain unchanged! The big difference is that D3D11 introduces some interesting new features on top of the D3D10 core:

• two new shader stages for tessellation
• calculate shader stage to execute GPGPU
• dynamic shader communication
• multithreading (immediate and deferred rendering context)
• (for hardware level targeting such as D3D10.x and D3D9 GPUs)
• byte address and structured buffers
• HLSL (popcount, bitreversal ..)
• ...

DXSDK!
