MS to discuss the release of DirectX 11 in a couple of weeks:
Fudzilla
Another upgrade path looms....lol

Celestra · Jul 10, 2008

Yeh!! I think I can't upgrade............... Who the hell cares about his $550.00 conference. Did you see the new Adobe upgrade requirements? Adobe is getting ready for Direct X 11.

I don't know what the big rush to 11 is for when we don't utilize 10 yet.

kemical · Jul 11, 2008

True I guess but it's nice to know what the dev's have planned

superbill · Jul 12, 2008

Yep.........why get excited about something that is not going to happen for some time.
More hype and no substance!!!

Did you read the replies? Most of the complaints were from Vista haters.

kemical · Jul 23, 2008

LOL... I can't to see their faces when they see windows 7 and realise it's a revamped version of vista. Will they then be happy to stay with XP? Lets face it, vista will only run as good as XP if the hardware is up to scratch eg, 2 or more gigs of RAM and a fairly recent chip/mobo. If you go by the Steam survey, then it soon becomes apparent that there's far more users with single core chips, 512MB RAM, onboard graphics and a system thats about three years old. So if they think waiting for 7 will suddenly make their antiquated systems run like XP they are going to be disapointed again. Plus, it's now become very cool to bash vista altho' many don't understand the arguments...

Have you seen the win7 screen shots? I have and started laughing cause it looks just like Vista.

Yup, I've shots like that before and apart from the odd little tweak it's going to be very much like vista (or so they say). True, vista could do with some of the bloat taken out of it, which is what essentially I think they are doing..

Looks like our DX10 cards will be able to run DX11 too...
