Pave Low Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 as rumoured, Microsoft have officially announced DirectX 11 at the Gamefest 2008 game conference which took place in Seattle, Washington the major scheduled features including GPGPU support, tesselation support, and improved multi-threading support to assist video game developers in developing games that better utilize multi-core processors. DirectX 11 will run on Windows Vista and its successor Windows 7. Unlike DirectX 10 it will not require new graphics card hardware specifically supporting the new API version, and will support both DirectX 10 and DirectX 10.1 hardware. you can read more about it in the articles below: http://www.developmag.com/news/30218/Micro...eils-DirectX-11 http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=19522 http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/53810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Kind of makes me wonder if DX10 and 10.1 are going to be ignored until 11 is out, even if it is a year or so down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Kind of makes me wonder if DX10 and 10.1 are going to be ignored until 11 is out, even if it is a year or so down the line. We're still seeing DX9 improvements now -- still saw 8 improvements for quite some time after 9 came out. And 7, for a while after 8... this happens every few years, relax.

Papa6 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'll just take a stab at this but, I think the next Vista SP will contain this supposed DX11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 as rumoured, Microsoft have officially announced DirectX 11 at the Gamefest 2008 game conference which took place in Seattle, Washington Funny, there are like, just over 10 games that support DX10 and they are announcing DX11? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games...ectX_10_support Anyways, the next "service pack" version of Vista will likely be Windows 7.
