As we said, AMD plans to launch Evergreen series DirectX 11 graphics card by the end of 2009, and hopefully promote it for the release of Microsoft’s Windows 7 on Oct 22nd.
Richard Huddy, AMD’s head of the Developer Relations Department, said in a talk with PCgameshardware, “I would say we don’t make money by delivering slow hardware. Our expectation is that we’ll give you a really pleasant surprise this year when we ship our DX11 hardware.”
After that he demonstrated the advantages of Hardware Tessellation and DirectX 11 Compute Shaders on DirectX 11 ready graphics cards. The Evergreen card with a dual-slot cooling solution is, according to Huddy, neither an entry-level nor a high-end product – it’s supposed to be part of the product array above US$100.
