DirectX 8.1 beta testing starts soon
According to some information, Microsoft will soon start the beta test for a revised DirectX version called DirectX 8.1. This version of the multimedia interface should then again be suitable for all users, and not just for developers, as was the case with DirectX 8.0b. Microsoft is still silent about the specific innovations, but apart from a few speed optimizations, not much new things can be expected.
