Looks like AMD’s gonna be first with Dx11. I would love to see more improvements on videocards. That would drive prices lower and make gaming more affordable for everyone. =D
So there’s been rumors that when Windows 7 is released, Direcx 11 videocards will come out at the same time. And AMD has been pushing for Directx 11. So here are the improvements released so far:
- Improved Parallelism
- Improved Precision and Integer Processing
- Tight Integration between Compute Shaders and Rendering Pipeline
- Improved Ease of Programming and Better Memory Usage Efficiency
can you believe that's completely computer generated? RAYTRACING BABY!
One of the key new features of DirectX 11 is support for DirectX Compute, which enables developers to utilize the massive parallel processing power of modern GPUs to accelerate a much wider range of applications that were previously only executable on CPUs. Accessed via programs called Compute Shaders that are executed on the GPU, they can be used to enable new graphical techniques (such as order independent transparency, ray tracing, and advanced post-processing effects), or to accelerate a wide variety of non-graphics applications (such as video transcoding, video upscaling, game physics simulation, and artificial intelligence).
