ADM showcases DirectX 11 GPU

June 3rd, 2009 Posted in Business, Hardware, News, PC, Technology


E3 is not the only trade show that’s going on these days. In Taiwan, the Computex 09 show is also well under way, and one of the big events was AMD showcasing world’s first DirectX 11 graphics chip. Windows 7 will bring along DX11 when released later this year, and AMD will have a graphics card ready. One of the key benefits of DX11 is GPGPU and better support for multicore processors. Arch rival Nvidia is also expected to have a DX11 card ready for Windows 7 launch.

    Whats with the black dx10 face and the white dx11 face??

    Should we somehow assume that the white face is better..
    showing the same face in DX10 and DX11 modes would have been more relevant..

    great minds think alike.

    had the same thought when i saw these two pictures… ;)
    technically there is no difference in the shading process for face (sub surface scattering) rendering between dx10 and dx11.
    so, which kind of difference should we see?

    DX11:
    + full GPU triangle tesselation (no by driver)
    + multi threading support for GPGPU

    so i don’t get the picture! :D

    if you just want to mark the grown hair, you sould say it! this would be supported by DX11.
    but on the other hand would also be possible with DX10.
