不经意间发现已经有很小一部分Gamefest 2011的演讲已经可以下载到了，包括： Modern Texture Content Pipelines (UK) Modern Texture Content Pipelines (US) Tiled Resources for Xbox 360 and Direct3D 11 (UK) 完整的列表早已公开，但还没提供下载链接。上面那三个（或者说两个）就当作先睹为快吧。 它们的代码分别也可以在这里和这里找到。

NVIDIA新发布了R285.62的WHQL驱动，从古老的GeForce 6到最新的500系列桌面和笔记本GPU，以及ION GPU都支持。这款驱动有针对Battlefield 3、Rage和Batman: Arkham City优化。 另外，R285.62支持OpenGL 4.2和OpenCL 1.1。3D Vision控制器的驱动也包含在里面了。 下载链接如下： 桌面显卡的R285.62 Win7 / Vista版 R285.62 Vista / Win7 64-bit R285.62 Vista / Win7 32-bit 笔记本显卡的R285.62 Win7 / Vista版 Verde (notebook) R285.62 Vista / Win7 64-bit Verde (notebook) R285.62 Vista / Win7 32-bit 桌面显卡的R285.58 WinXP版 R285.58 XP 64-bit R285.58 XP 32-bit

Windows 8 developer preview不但向开发者提供了Win8和VS2011的预览，还在其中隐藏了之前没有宣布过的Direct3D 11.1。现在，D3D11.1的初期文档也出现在MSDN中，让我们来看看D3D11.1提供了哪些新特性。 已经添加入D3D11.1的新功能有： Shader tracing。在API层面提供更多调试shader的能力。 Direct3D device sharing。让D3D 10的API和D3D 11的API可以共享同一个渲染设备。 Check support of new Direct3D 11.1 features and formats。更新了ID3D11Device::CheckFeatureSupport和ID3D11Device::CheckFormatSupport，以支持D3D 11.1和DXGI 1.2提供的新格式。 Create larger constant buffers than a shader can access。可以建立超 ...

在VirtualBox上装好Win8之后发现不能联网，因为没找到网卡驱动。经过排列组合的测试之后，发现在Network里面，Attached to选择Bridged Adapter，Adapter Type选择IntelPRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)可以解决问题。 想要关机的时候，发现Start没有shut down了。新的关机方法是，鼠标移到左下角，就会出现一个浮动菜单。菜单第一项是Settings，点击后右边会滑出一个框，关机就在里面。

上周微软在BUILD上公开了Windows 8 developer preview，并提供了可以自由下载的镜像。下面我们就来看看如何在VirtualBox这个开源虚拟程序上安装Win 8。 首先，你需要下载并安装一个最新版的VirtualBox；并下载一份Windows 8 developer preview DVD镜像；在BIOS中打开硬件的虚拟化设定（很重要）。 打开VirtualBox，建立一个新的虚拟机。进入设置，General的OS Type中选择Other Windows。 在虚拟机的设置里面，System中，Moherboard页面设置预留内存1024 MB，或者更大；把Chipset设置成ICH9；勾选Enable IO APIC（很重要）。 Acceleration页面勾选EnableVT-x/AMD-V以及Enable Nested Paging。 Display中，勾选Enab ...
