Very good read.

I especially liked the question about Larrabee and his response to it. canned response?

Whoa. Quads are looking a hell of a lot more attractive now if this ends up being as impressive as it sounds:

One such element that gets updated in DirectX 11 is that of Display Lists, a new driver model to more effectively multithread graphics workloads over multi-core CPUs, natively within the API. This is something that we know developers have been looking requested. The advantage here is that although this is a DirectX 11 API feature, the functionality will move down to DirectX 10 hardware, so all DirectX 10 hardware users that update to the DirectX 11 runtime will get the benefits of this feature.

We should thank Dave for having the HD4850 at specs as we know of today.

Cheers Dave :beer:

 

[Sylvanas]

Good read indeed. It's great that HD2000-4000 users will gain the benefits of compute shaders and maybe even Tesselation (page 4) when DX11 hits.

Maybe, he's just saying they'll have something to compete.
