DirectX 10 Driver From Intel In April

According to motherboard makers, Intel is going to release a DirectX 10 driver which will be compatible with their IGP chipsets, by the end of April.

When the G35 launched last year, it was intended to have native DirectX 10 support included. This didn’t happen because the driver issues could not be corrected quickly enough and so the chipsets were shipped without it.

All of Intel’s coming chipsets, G45 and GM45 IGP, PC G35 chipset and the notebook GM965 and GL960, are all going to be compatible with this DirectX 10 driver, which is to be called version 15.9. The desktop G965 chipset will not be shipped with this version of the driver, as it is hardware compatible with DirectX 10 already.
