Farewell to DirectX?

[gabs]

Wala ko masweto ani ha, sa ako lang nabantayan

Mas Favor jud unta ko sa PC kay ma all around man gud siya. Daghan man gud maduwaan Flash, emulators, mga gaan nga PC games nga makalingaw pud. Ako huna2x man gd, I can play more kinds of games in Less cost

BUT

Ever since I started upgrading and upgrading, nag start ko from Pentium2 nya upgraded MX440 AGP videocard, nag 8600GT, 8800GTS, 9500GT, HD4650 then karon GTX460 (from Earlz)
tungod lang sa duwa nga ako ganahan duwaan.

I realized that I spent a lot na jud diay sa cgeg upgrade (quad processor, RAM, Motherboard, PSU, Casing, Videocard)
nya in fact Dili na nako matawag General Purpose akong "GAMING PC" kay pang heavy games naman lang sya. Another thing is Electricity basta budget minded people like me, i consider jud ni.

So if compared sa Cost
PC > Console

Pero if Gaming Purpose hisgutan

PC <= Console
i just notice lang ha Mas Komportable jud ko magduwa sa PC with Game Pad kaysa Mouse og keyboard. Pero I havnt pa jud tried Playing PS3s or XBOX360s pero i based sa akong experience katong suroy2x nangita ko og videocard, Mas Lingaw jud akong tan aw sa mga taw nag duwa og consoles.

Pero if Hobby Hisgutan
PC > Console
Saon nalang if ma upgrade2x ra ang Procie, RAM, Vcard og Mobo sa Xbox og PS3 hahaha!

For me, this DX issue is not that important jud. Bisan pa ila na wagtangon

PC upgrading will always be here.

Unsaon nalang if maundang ang consumers cgeg upgrade para maka apas sa heavy games. Kung kayanon ra sa low end.

Down jud NVDIA/ATI ana. next other PC components companies pud.

Money raman Rason ana mao nag dugay nang DX thing

i heard about OpenGL and it is a new wave. It has been use by mobile media and it helps a lot in terms of mobile video games.
