NVIDIA PERFHUD 5.1

It's been a long time since my last post but I think this news deserves it ... the new version of nVidia's PerfHUD tool supports XNA builds.

Don't believe me? Just read this: "... PerfHUD 5.1 Highlights:

• GeForce 8 Series support on Windows Vista and XP (older GPUs are also supported)
• Microsoft Windows Vista support (DirectX 9 and 10)
• New in 5.1! Instrumented driver updated to 163.71
• New in 5.1! Compatibility with Managed and XNA applications ...".

SECOND DAY WEBCAST?

I don't know about you guys but the sessions of the first day were really great! So many info shared, previews, experiences, images, demos, videos, and so on. And the webcast itself was loud and clear ... I eperienced only one glitch and it was on my side (too many webpages opened).

I know it was announced that only the first day would be webcasted but, given the importance of the sessions and the fact that many of us couldn't attend the gamefest this year, let's hope the XNA Team decides -of course, if within possibilities- to webcast today's XNA sessions.

Fingers crossed!
