It took some time before Nvidia released the first graphics cards that support DirectX 10.1, but with the transition to TSMC's 40 nanometer architecture the Geforce array is now, almost two years after AMD's Radeon family, made compatible to the (currently) up-to-date API.

For Nvidia the upgrade from DirectX 10 to DirectX 10.1 still isn't really important. Not very surprising since only the new GPUs and some editions for OEM partners can make full use of the features offered by the API. The high-end desktop graphics cards of the Geforce GTX series are still fully DirectX 10.0 only.


Perhaps this is also the reason why Nvidia is uncommonly tightfisted in matter of product samples and even technical details. Therefore all information delivered in this article is based on what can be found on the Nvidia website, test that we ran ourselves and general conclusions.
