AMD Demos DirectX 11-Capable ATI Graphics Card

An anonymous reader writes "Today at a press conference in Taiwan, AMD demonstrated the world's first GPU capable of DirectX 11 technology. The demonstrations shows the major improvements DirectX 11 gives us over DirectX 10 and also shows us what AMD has in store for an ATI Graphics Card coming out before the end of 2009 capable of DirectX 11. AMD shows three primary features of DirectX 11: a tessellator, which allows for less blocky and more fluid and realistic details; compute shaders which allows for less restricted programming; and finally, how DX11 is better designed to take advantage of multiple CPU cores."

But will it run Vista?

[docbrody]

so what, another update to Direct X and another batch of video cards that support it. Or partially support some of the features, or 100% all of the key features, but not some others. or some variation on that. Blah blah blah

Will Duke Nukem Forever [3drealms.com] wait to take advantage of DirectX 11?

This one goes up to 11

[nschubach]

How about they work on their DX 10 performance first.

Because this one goes up to 11, so obviously it's better.

I thought 3drealms going bankrupt would end the DNF meme. Guess I was wrong.
