DirectX 11 to get announced this month

[Zenbaas]

I hope DX11 makes more of a splash than DX10...cause DX10 smelled like a Vista marketing stunt.


Not full blown ray tracing. That would slaughter anything out there atm.


Yah 0.1% ftw.

For the most part Dx10 smelled like crap

I think ppl expected too much from DX10.

Kind of like the Crysis hype.

DX10 in theory makes for easier game programming etc., but with very little "tangible" difference to the end user.

Most of the (if not all) DX10 effects can be done on DX9 hardware - but at a HUGE performance drop...

I think the more "interesting" thing is physics acceleration (PhysX and Havok)...

i only speak the engrish

Cool, not just me then.

Ever tried to write a game with DirectX?
No? Then you don't really need to know what that means. Just base your opinion on what it looks like at the end of the day ^_^

Not a chance.

then whats the point of this? I mean, why? we haven't reached the limits of dx10 and now 11 is coming out??? god dammit. So I just go out and drop R2500 on a card only to realise that there's something new, better that won't be supported by me card. Well, at least it's only R2500 for a ATI HD4850. Must suck to have bought a GTX280 and just read that dx 10 is going to be obsolete in a year

Essentially it will mean that you'll spend a fortune on a Vista machine next year in order to play games probably only once that'll look pretty much the same on a DX 10 machine.
Then you'll convince yourself that your money was well spent.

I honestly think that DX 5 games on a Voodoo 3 still look good.
Shocking, I know.

Great and I ordered a 800watt gigabyte odin GT so that i can buy me a 88gt.now U guys want to tell me i should rather stick with my 2*7600GS for now, and wait for the dx 11 cards to come???I give up.

You ever read threads like these and laugh thinking that people do talk like those guys on The Big Bang Theory?

Wouldn't mind understanding it all I guess

Interesting news, I wonder when the new cards will start sporting DirectX11 support...

we can only wait

 

[Ou grote]

we can only wait

and save, need to tighten those belts.

Im sure i saw somewhere that the new ATI cards can do raytracing realtime. Do a google on "ATI Scorpion Demo" Now why can that not be incorporated into games ?

Hopefully if Tesselation or something is done DX11 would be similar omf
