Nvidia and ATi Readying DX11 Ready Cards

According to Digitimes, the two major GPU makes are already readying the next generation cards that’ll be capable of DirectX 11. The said cards will be available by the end of the year.

Nvidia’s GT300 series cards will be done by end of this month and will be ready for shipping by December of this year.

With the ATi’s 5800 series will also be done by around the same time Nvidia’s GT300 series, but they’ll start shipping 2 months earlier which is around October. A little too fast. As usual trying to catch up to beat the competition.

This’ll pretty much mean that price drops are coming. Upgrades are coming. Time to save up. LOL. I ain’t upgrading my GTX295 anytime soon. I’m still saving up for an i7.

AMD: Directx 11′s White Paper

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!

Asus Mars

Asus Mars

Any of you guys absolutely sick of hearing about the Single PCB version of the GTX295? Here’s a follow up now to what Asus has been cooking up.
As you can see this monster will be just like it’s predecessor a Dual slot  card with 2 PCB’s sandwiched together and the heatsink will be in just like as it was with the reference version of the GTX295, right in the middle. There are vents on each side that help dissipate the heat.
