AMD Expected to Launch DX11 GPU on Sept. 10

Next news
3:21 PM - August 17, 2009 by Marcus Yam

Could the ATI DirectX 11 card be launching on September 10? Could be!

Earlier this year during June, AMD demonstrated at Computex the first DirectX 11 GPU, and most recently at Quakecon, the chip maker is showing off its latest silicon once again.

Expreview got a hold of an AMD presentation from Quakecon that reads, "On Thursday, September 10, 2009, you won't believe your eyes… Please join us as we unveil a new PC experience. Formal invitation with more details to come."

Given the timing of the slide and the recent demonstration of the ATI "Evergreen" DX11 hardware, it's a safe assumption that AMD will be launching something next month.

DirectX 11 is the most anticipated directx version by me ever.

It's about time to show some PC muscles to all those console gamers, and about time for a PC comeback ...

Wow replace an 8800 GT? That's a great new card still. My ATI Radeon 9700 pro is becoming a bit outdated though. :)

Let's hope so and that it blows the 4800 series away.

If the 4770 is any indication, I look forward to high-end 40nm GPU's.

Ahhh but when will the DX11 games be out? 2-3 years?



DX11 games have been in development for a long time the first DX11 games are due out before the end of the year and the show piece DX11 title Starcraft 2 due Q1 2010.

To bad the AMD CPU is still a bottleneck on high end graphics cards.Looking forward to the next CPU from AMD


Did you check out the new upcoming Catalyst 9.8 drivers? Big news there (gaming improvements) with an AMD CPU combined with their graphics cards.

SIGH! I got my 4890 over a month ago, I love it to death but i was really waiting on the 5xxx series, but couldn't wait much longer :(

I'm not gonna buy a new card for DX11 I just got a GTX 260 so it will last a while.

All in all I'm excited about this.

I know we are all hoping and wishing the cards are spectacular, so that Nvidia will release something similar and the battle for best card will keep prices reasonable and keep both companies driving forward.

It will be very interesting when Larabee is introduced to the mix as well.

I thought that they were going to delay due to yield problems. I still haven't seen any 4730s or 4790s and there is still inventory of 4800 series cards out there. I wonder if AMD will really launch next month, but I sure would like it if they do. Looks like the time is coming when I'll finally replace my two 3850s.

As wonderful as that sounds it will have nothing to do with DX11. Quality titles and lots of them would help, along with hardware that was more easily attainable/useable/appropriate for the masses. Don't forget that DX10 was supposed to be fantastic and the very few titles released under it were all just as good in DX9.

No, no, no. Crysis was under development (along with the first Call of Juarez and Lost Planet) as a DX10 title. The first gen of DX10 hardware couldn't run the games well and overall it wasn't worth the premium. DX11 games might have been in development but it doesn't mean they are good, or that they're not going to be more concerned with reaching a mass audience. StarCraft 2 will be as graphically sub-par as every other Blizzard release just so that it will be playable on EVERYTHING under the sun. At the most you'll get some stupid particle/lighting/stupid effect that no one cares about. Plus, it won't be out in Q1 of 2010. The chances of even having a SOLID StarCraft 2 release date by Q1 2010 are worse than the chances I'll sprout wings and fly away after winning the Powerball lottery.

You want to really see gaming improvements with your CPU? Buy an i7.
