DX 11 when will be released ?

[xlimit]

Anyone knows when this new DX 11 will released ?

1. With Vista, like SP2 maybe or
2. Windows 7 in 2010

If the true is number 2, so we have to buy new OS every microsoft release new DirectX

DX10 is just barely being accepted by dev's now, I would expect DX11 for at least 6 to 8 years from now.

 

[LOUISSSSS]

i agree with ^^, def in a good few years

 

[Aberforth]

DX11 will be available in a year or two.

 

[Sylvanas]

With the next iteration of windows you can expect DX11.

 

[jellyrole]

I would also put it at Windows 7. Vista hasn't been accepted very well, and Microsoft knows that. I doubt there going to force people to use it just for DX11, instead provide a better OS and DX11 at the same time really getting people to upgrade to there new OS.

 

[Blazer7]

It?s probably too early to tell. In a couple of years Vista will be quite mature and with fewer issues. Many more DX10 titles will be out there and many more hard core gamers will be using the OS. By that time the introduction of DX11 on Vista may make absolute sense.

With M$?s record so far I would say that windows 7 will be postponed for a couple of years but even if they come out in time no one knows whether this won?t be another ?Vista? fiasco.

 

[Aberforth]

MS will not postpone Windows 7 as it is based on Vista's kernel with new features that is geared towards natural computing (touch, speech etc) and also they lost $$$ delaying vista for 5 years, they won't do it again.

Who really cares when is going to be released? We're just struggling to find cards that can make directX 10 games work at decent fps and you're thinking about directX 11??

 

[Pugnate]

Windows 7 will NOT be using DX11. They stated they will be sticking with DX10.

This is really interesting . We know who the cry baby is . The problem is this . Intel wants DX11 . So lets see who MS fears the most.

Oh wait, that was for DNF.

This is about the best artical I have at the moment . Some may have read it . But for your reading pleasure> I hope this helps the OP out.

It was always BS.

It was a con job by the guy supposedly making it to con donations out of all the vista haters. I heard rumors of him being investigated even.

 

[taltamir]

Microsoft have been hiring people with a job description of programming a physics API for direct X... and there are many rumors from employees that basically DX11 will be adding a physics on GPU API.

Now the thing is... AMD might do havok (or was havok intels and AMD has something else?) on their video cards, intel might do something as well, and the GTX 280 is supposed to come out on the same day (7 days from now) as the CUDA physX... which means every DX10 nvidia card ever made will be able to do ageia physX thanks a new driver update.
So we are looking at a bunch of competing physics on GPU technologies. But DX11 is a while off still, probably a year or two. (they might cancel the physics api if something else becomes the standard... who knows...)

Last I heard was Intel/AMD/ATI are going down the same road. I know intel bought them . Cuda. But Havok is open to AMD if they want it . same as NV . JUST not cuda.

 

[unr3al]

Intel bought AMD or bought Havok?

Sorry if I sound confused but wow I don't think they bought AMD lol

Its alright I wrote that and I don't get it . Intel bought Havok. AMD or NV can use it its still open . I believe the only development intel stopped was for NV cuda software.

This article claims it will be released with SP2. It also claims that it will support Ray-Tracing. That leads me to believe that it will debut with Larrabee.

 

[Martimus]

This article even gives a specific month for its release.

Forget about DirectX 10 and DirectX 10.1, the future of Microsoft?s graphics platform for the Windows operating system is DirectX 11. The Redmond giant has certainly kept quiet on DirectX 11, just as it has gagged all information on the next iteration of Windows, but details do slip through its fingers. And while mum?s the word on where the next generation of the Windows graphics technology is heading, Microsoft is gearing up to deliver the first public taste of the future version of the DirectX suite of multimedia APIs. In fact, at the end of August 2008, Microsoft will introduce DirectX 11 to the world.

Between 25 and 27 August 2008, Nvidia will hold its Nvision 08 conference in San Jose, California. Kev Gee, Software Development Engineer, XNA Developer Connection (XDC) is scheduled to deliver the introduction to DirectX 11 via a one-hour session at Nvision 08 on August 26. Gee promises that attendants will be able to get a sneak peek at what DirectX 11 will look like.

So the end of August we may have a working API, which means it may be released early next year.

only reason I can see them releasing dx11 is for the physics stuff.

I love this part .

According to a confidential source, Microsoft has decided to switch to ray-tracing in DirectX 11. They also plan to have DirectX 11 ready in time to debut with Windows Vista Service Pack 2. To do that, they have also decided to base it on the x86 architecture and Intel's ray-tracing engine. There are rumours that Intel did more than just "suggest" it to Microsoft, but that's another story altogether

For the first time in a very long time Intel has all the cards . Intel and AMD are heading down the same road to EPIC and redmond knows it . So the cpu companies now have the power. You can bet AMD was right their with intel twisting arms. So guess one more time who is cring.
