No doubt some of you will have seen the Source engine effects trailer (double linkage), and I suspect the majority of you are, like me, rather impressed by the shiny graphics (in both senses of the word).
Which will only work on DX9-compatible cards.
Which I don't have
I have but a meagre GeForce4 Ti4200 (Leadtek, for those of you who really want to know).
So, my question to the fount of all wisdom that is the Hardware Forums is this:
What will I be missing out on with my DX8.1-supporting (I believe) graphics card? I've found a couple of articles referring to "diffuse and reflective pixel shaders" being a new feature, but I don't know what that is in English.
Could someone please help enlighten me?
Cheers,
Fatteh.
