Nvidia finally embraces DirectX 10.1

@ 2009/06/03
Nvidia will start with mobile chips and afterwards, towards Q3 and later, it will release discrete desktop chips that will support DirectX 10.1 API.

After years of preaching how bad this is, Nvidia finally decided to include this API and this proves the fact which ATI has been stating for a while now - that DirectX 10.1 is actually better than DirectX 10.

... or they just added it because in the end they want to stay up to date and because they know AMD is almost ready to launch DX11 chips (not that it matters because there won't be any DX11 apps in the next year(s)).
They probably can't live with the fact that AMD is developing faster, despite the small figures.
