This is the best evidence so far, except that this was written in 2006. If I may ask, is that for Dx9.0c or Dx10/11?

here is a bunch of GPL code, some of them are through DirectX, except that the copyright is expired...
What? When did I even hinted that? BFG10K is the one who said bring in solid proof or retract your statement. I have been going around this explicitly and implicitly. Now you are saying that my claim is based on "prove me wrong or I must be right?" Really, re-read post 371. I already said I...
Proof? Does it not obvious that ViRGE friend also BELIEVE it is free but probably never verify it? There is a difference between "Why should I pay?" vs "Well I acquired the appropriate licenses for free, or terms that doesn't cost money." Am I picking bones out of an egg here? Or is that...
Let me straight up my inquiry. First, I am not clear to which that cut from valve is about. If it is simply digital distribution, then it has nothing to do with MS. I said that because I don't know, not because I know, it was a question. After reading a bit, I don't think valve checks all...
If your program doesn't use any proprietary software, library, dlls or simply code from others, then yes, it is free. DirectX is proprietary. You don't need SDK to write DirectX calls, you need the library. You need license to use these proprietary libraries. Without them, your code won't run.
I thought we had agreed on that somewhere around post 371. Just to by precise, I know you are looking for evidence in terms of money, and I already told you I couldn't prove it on post 371. You agreed about the need of licensing on 372. I said, lets resolve the Dx issue first before building...

See if you can find DirectX in it.
Which part of the some? If the licenses related to DirectX is not expressly stated as free, then it is not free.
I was not the one who start this "Bring proof or...
Did anyone who had publish a game featuring DirectX spoke? Or are we just arguing? If we are arguing, then I need to quote proofs, not evidence, or retract my claim, which is said to be extraordinary claim. On the other hand, there is no need, those are ordinary claims that doesn't require...
Did I or did not I showed that DirectX is proprietary to MS? Did I or did not I linked the general IP policy about MS? You too agreed that licenses are needed, but there are so many different types of licenses. I am not a lawyer, I don't even know the name of the types of licenses that are...
Did you see the line that stated that licenses/rights must be expressly stated. Dig into EULAs and others can you will find out that you can't quote it without written permissions. Everything about licensing patients are generally non-exclusive and determined by MS. DirectX is MS's...
I can see that this thread is heavily moderatorated. Derailing, trolling, personal attacks and abused did not occur.
As to the rest of the argument, it is done. I have supplied evidence, reasoning, and spent several days over one statement. If you don't realized, others are staying away...
Although most of what you say are reasonable, you still haven't answer my inquiry. It was bolded, but I guess you didn't see it.
So cutting Dx10 reduce cost. How? Is it just the hardware binning process? Well ION LE runs with DX10 fine with some simple inf change. Will you explain how can...
Too long, didn't quote them all. Let me know if I miss any questions you will like me to answer.
My claim has 2 parts,
a) HW manufacturers needs to acquire license from MS if any IPs are used.
b) Software creator needs to acquire license from MS if any IPs are used.
To be more precise, I said...
You call forum post as "A link to a reputable page "? Well you should be more specific next time.
NDA. DirectX is MS's IP, and therefore that is the most relevant page you can find about MS's IP License policies.
So Nvidia ION LE was not certified as Dx10, yet with the correct "hack", it...
I don't disagree what you said about evidence, but was that statement in question what I really wanted to say about PhysX? Or did someone simply try to derail the topic?
The prove of SDK is that one can use it, and codes that are written from it does not require extra licensing. Unread...
You can claim that I am wrong. I won't ask you to retract or submit detail proofs as quotes in a post. If you really wants to show that I am wrong, then it is another story.
I have no problems being challenge on the validity of my statements. I have problems with the attitude from some.
Am I the only one who know that Directx is proprietary to MS? Does people even know what that means? It means, you need a license to use it in any way. Like any EULA, it...
First, I don't see any forum rules supporting what you are demanding from me. I don't need to comply to your demand in case you don't know that. If I feel like defending myself, I will. If you believe I am wrong, then prove it.
Keep in mind that most of those legal craps can't be used in...
You are good with words, but not really good at reading or remember what you ask for. Let me remind you.
If you ain't searching for my evidence, but why do you ask me to provide one to begin with?
About IP licensing and IP licensing policy...
It does run well, it really does, but that isn't what you really want. What you really want is a game custom build for your particular hardware configuration, which is not the cutting edge. You see, that is what consoles are for to being with, a custom build system that never have...
You must not have Ubuntu and Mac. There were a time where games are multi-platform as they are written upon OpenGL. Microsoft throw a whole lot of resources in DirectX to compete with it. DirectX7,8,9,9a,9b and 9c. DirectX 9.0c has won the war as CAP bits are impossible to manage by...
Are you saying that window 7 breaks many legacy applications? It is just programming. Ocre and Taltamir see the reasoning, which is really trivial. $ and time. Pay them enough and they will make windows run on phones. Oh wait...
Look up Nvidia ION DirectX10.
Do you think DirectX is free? It comes with windows operating system. Why doesn't Dx10/11 work under XP? It isn't because it can't be done, but Microsoft doesn't want it to be done as they want to sell Vista and 7. On top of that, AMD and Nvidia needs to pay MS for Dx, as well as studios who...
In short, you believe that CPU process physics better than GPU and therefore it is a waste of time and resources. That is fine, but you aren't the one spending resources on it. Instead you buy products from those who does spend the resource on it. It is well known that batman:AC uses PhysX...
I am confused. Are you talking about DirectX or are you talking about PhysX? You made it sounded like Nvidia is responsible for problem that occurs on game code. Dx11 broke on regardless of what video card you use, be it AMD or Nvidia, and batman:AC is from Rocksteady, not Nvidia.
Lets go...
First, DirectX is not a standard. Second, no physics engine is not proprietary. Third, it can be done, but who is going to pay for development cost? Fourth, why reinvent the wheel when there exist one? If the complain is PhysX doesn't work on AMD video card, then should AMD be the one who is...
The load is fine, the temps are not. If the ventilation is okay, then there may be something wrong with the contact bewteen the HS and the GPU. Get yourself a good TIM and redo it.
As to the overkill FPS, you can set vsync on.
Actually, I think I have the answer to your situation. It isn't the image produced by the monitor through the glasses that gets blurry, it is the image preceived by your brain through one of your eye that is blurry. Let me explain with my own experience.
I have a lazy eye, attached to a lazy...
I wear glasses, and played in 3D for hours continuously. There are room for the glasses to fit within the 3D glasses. It comes with multiple nose piece which I never knew why, but I believe it either have something to do with glasses or nose. Bottom line, there are no problems for people with...
What makes WoW appears to be bad isn't the game, it is the players. Once upon time there were people who can't beat Mario. These people won't go online as those who do are nerds. Nowadays, those who failed at Mario continously causing games to be nerfed. They do so by making QQ posts in...
With Nvidia, there is a 2nd gen monitor, with a new feature called 3dlightboost. This tech allows better lighting, as the shutter glass significantly darkens the display.
Although I don't always put on 3D, the price of the setup justifies itself as the price of the 120hz monitor justifies...
Some of you were to young and were not there when WoW actually became the best similar to a disease outbreak. Never in history had a simulation of that magnitude with so many human and natural reaction anyone even remotely think it is possible to simulate.
The Corrupted Blood event is the best...
SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_TIMESTAMP (time_stamp, 'YYYY-MM-DD-HH24.MI.SS.FF9'), 'MM/DD/YYYY') FROM tidalard;
That way you don't lose the precision when you want to ditch the to_char.
