Best Windows Gaming Feature Ever?
"This week, Microsoft unveiled one of Windows 7’s new features, which will allow games and other DirectX 10 and 10.1-based applications to run fully accelerated on obsolete graphics hardware, and even on systems with no graphics acceleration at all.
Dubbed Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform or WARP, the new graphics layer for Windows 7 will utilize the system CPU as the graphics engine to assist old graphics cards, and take over completely in some cases."
This means that all those fancy video games that require a heavy duty 3D graphics card can be run on the most basic setup. The benchmarks look really promising. Microsoft released specs benching Crysis on low settings.
