I have found this post about DX11:

and my friend found this:

in the post it says about it having pixel shader 5, seeing as no gpu's atm support pixel shader 5, we may be screwed...


and in other news, there will soon be Physx for ATI GPU's:

awh. how nice of NVIDIA

and DX11?! THATS INSANE! are there even any games out using 10.1?

pisses me off

there are no DX10.1 games, just read this article about DX10.1:


http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/08/13/dx101-is-trivial

i mean, "there are no DX10.1 games", sorry bad grammar lol

hmm. it wouldn't take much to convince me to switch. if theres a kickass game only for vista and i want it, i'd just set up a dual boot. problem solved for me

but to get all the good features of DX11, you'd need a card that supports DX11 and pixel shader 5.

oh yeah, i know that. i was referring to the article you posted about DX10.1. but either way, im an enthusiast so i'm always spending every penny i have in upgrading or building new set ups. its the only reason i work; to fill my enthusiast needs

Wow..They're working on it already? >.<

haha cool, imagine how many PC's you could build from all the parts you've upgraded =P

What a waste, not many games are even optimized for dx10 yet.

@ weeman: lol. thats how i built my gf's computer. she only plays the sims and stuff like that, so she didn't need a power house. haha, she does have 2 8800 gt's running in SLI though. ;D

2 8800 gt's running in sli!!! give me one!

No this whole thing is completely false XD, Look ATI's cards that are direct x 10.1 and Shader 4.1 are actually Direct X11 and Shader 5 just since theres no real drivers to make them anything else but a .1. when the Direct X11 and shader 5 are released ATI is going to update their drivers and which will make them 11 and 5 ^^b ATI is forward thinking as always

hahah.

i have an ASUS mobo with 2GB RAM with no GPU or CPU, so wen i get 9800GTX to replace my 8600GTS XXX, and an e8500 to replace the pentium 4, i will put them in the ASUS mobo and build a PC with that.

larrabee is cpu with gpu built in which is based on pentium core:

All Direct X 10.1 is a beta for 11 same goes for shader. So if your saying to your oh noes i wasted money on a 4850 or 4870, you are sadly and surely mistaken. Lol And Weeman5872 O_o are you even using that computer? LMAO with no gpu

ahh. atm im running a Q6600 on an EVGA 780i mobo with 4 gigs of Buffalo Firestix and an EVGA 9800GX2. i got myself the Q9450, but thats for my next build. i might get another one. saving up to go skulltrail and crossfire x with the 4870s

Skull trail is mad crazy lol like wtf is this even possible crazy. oh btw AMD is working on an 8 core CPU :D <_<
