I don't know if you guys read this already but it says ATI is planning to make R800 cards. What do you think about this? I think it's kind early for DX11 but by then who knows. edit: forgot link lol... http://www.3dgameman.com/content/view/9589/82/
i don't think dx11 even has anything toimprove from as they've hardlyeven seen dx10 preformance. maybe they are just developing some ideas, a skeleton if you will, for when dx11 IS announced. 9 was out for quite a while, i don't think theyd be so quick to make 11 yet.
I guess it's possible, but it seems to be a little soon to be jumping to a new DirectX level. I would assume this would be more like an incremental upgrade, like DirectX 9.0b or c. DirectX 9 has been around since 2002 and only just became obsolete, and is far from being antiquated. I doubt we'll see a new DirectX version for some time now. We've seen nothing of DirectX 10, especially considering how far DirectX 9 has come from its first implementation.
Seeing as how DX10 has made a visible difference in like 3 games, and that difference is only really noticed by about 10% of the population that's even running DX10, I can TOTALLY see why they'd be pushing for DX11.
I dont see dx 11 next year.... Hardly any games use dx 10 yet and the ones that do show very little inprovement over dx 9. Besides.... who in the hell is going to upgrade graphics cards just for a new dx version. Im banking on my 280 to last me atleast untill 2010.
