Jacek Konopka Oct 7, 2014:
Have a nice evening, too:)
Björn Vrooman Oct 7, 2014:
@Jacek Yes, of course, it needs to be capitalized.

To explain my agreement here:

If I remember correctly, you weren't really fond of Klaus selecting an answer for the "Präferenz" question because none of the answers given proved really accurate (actually, I agree with that).

So, in turn, you should understand why I agreed with Astrid, who provided the appropriate references directly related to "compute shader", not shader in general (there are different types and her link explains the one in question quite well).

Have a nice evening :)

On a side note: Don't quite know why this question was asked in the first place. Looking for the product in question gets you a whole lot of search results in seconds.

That was what I was talking about. But still- if' compute- shaders'- so mayby in capital letters- it is German. The Asker wanted to know the German alternative- I think so.

compute-shaders

Direkte Übersetzung von Microsoft (siehe Link).

"Ein Compute-Shader ist eine programmierbare Shader-Phase, die Direct3D 11 über die Grafikprogrammierung hinaus erweitert."

Die Schreibweise mit Bindestrich im Deutschen scheint so üblich zu sein, siehe z.B. auch

As Björn mentioned in the discussion, the word in the title should of course be capitalized!
Peer comment(s):

agree Björn Vrooman : Yeah, I guess you should leave it as it is: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Spiele-Thema-239104/Specials/S... I'm just always a bit careful with Microsoft links, since most are based on machine translations these days :)

You're right about the MT, but in this case it quite clearly was not machine translated :).
agree Florian Wollenschein : Einen Wikipedia-Artikel gibt es auch dazu: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute-Shader
