Creative cuts life support for 3DLabs

I love my M-Audio Revolution 7.1

I wish I was an M-Audio shill.

I have an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 in my personal computer, and have used an M-Audio Delta 1010 for recording. They make good stuff. :thumbsup:

RIP 3DLabs. 🙁

yup. Creative bougt out Aureal and shelved A3D2 which is still as good if not better than EAX3. They cant go under though, they have no competitors.

Nah, somebody could buy up the EAX patents in bankruptcy and make their own 3d gaming sound chips.

i thought Vista used a DX layer to run Ogl.

Full screen OpenGL applications will behave exactly how they do today on XP and go straight through the OpenGL ICD.

The improvement comes from Microsoft updating their current software accelerated OpenGL 1.0 library to providing hardware accelerated OpenGL 1.4 in order to support Aero.

Rendering Aero through OpenGL might not be as fast as natively going through DirectX but OpenGL support has improved nevertheless.

you can't get full drivers from their site, only "upgrade" drivers.

False.
