Effect of AMD’s DX11
Hey guys, Icarus here. Today, I’m going to jump to talking about graphics. However, not just any graphics card, I’m going to talk about DX11.
Earlier this month, AMD announced that it is already developing graphics cards that will support DX11. Now, this doesn’t automatically mean AMD is going to be ahead of NVidia; it may be far from that. This just means that AMD will have GPU’s capable of supporting DX11 before NVidia.
The weird part is, NVidia hasn’t announced its support for the new DX11. This could mean one of a few things:
1. NVidia is allowing AMD to pave the road for them, and then come in after them to compete
2. NVidia is too busy competing in the mobile GPU industry
3. AMD is trying to make a huge comeback in the GPU industry and hope it tidalwaves into its processor line-up
And my personal favorite response,
4. NONE OF THE ABOVE
As of now, none of us have any idea what DX11 is even capable of. However, if it can be compared to the transition from DX9 to DX10, it will be a monumental step for both the graphics hardware and software industries. GPUs will be that much more powerful, and games will be that much more realistic.
So, you’re probably wondering, when can we expect DX11 to come out with the hardware? And when will it be mainstream?
Well, personally, I’m predicting sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter that DX11 will make its debut with a couple GPUs. DX11 probably won’t be mainstream until next year, like how DX10 transitioned from DX9.
So, that’s all for me for today. Hope you enjoyed my post!
Oh by the way, I made a Twitter Page. Also, I made a Facebook Page for this website! Make sure to become a fan, and follow me on Twitter!
Videos coming up soon, taking more videos, and waiting on video-editting software for some awesome videos! Stay tuned!
Oh, and don’t forget, COMMENT MY POSTS!! I’m always looking for feedback, suggestions, and what you want me to review or talk about!
Cheers!
