AMD Demos DirectX 11-Capable ATI Graphics Card 107

An anonymous reader writes "Today at a press conference in Taiwan, AMD demonstrated the world's first GPU capable of DirectX 11 technology. The demonstrations shows the major improvements DirectX 11 gives us over DirectX 10 and also shows us what AMD has in store for an ATI Graphics Card coming out before the end of 2009 capable of DirectX 11. AMD shows three primary features of DirectX 11: a tessellator, which allows for less blocky and more fluid and realistic details; compute shaders which allows for less restricted programming; and finally, how DX11 is better designed to take advantage of multiple CPU cores."

Wrong state, you're thinking of West Virginia. Here in NC we all fuck farm animals. :-P

NC has its hicks but at least the urban areas are relatively hick-free. NC has many world famous colleges. Just the triad (where I live and work) is the home of Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, and NC State University. IBM has one of its largest sites in Research Triangle Park, where 11,000 IBM employees and contractors work.

I noticed the summary was tagged "bigbrother" but this isn't really big brother this is more nanny state. Which, granted, to a certain degree 1984 was a nanny state, but more so through the cripple of minds than the crippling of freedoms.

Soon children will wear devices that monitor their bloodsugar and hormone levels and if the levels drop too much (i.e. the kid is hungry) for too long, parents will be charged with criminal negligence and thrown in jail and the kids put into foster care where they won't be so horribly mistreated.
