Windows 7 is out, and with it is the latest version with DirectX ? DirectX 11. The new graphics API is an evolution from DirectX 10, but it doesn?t only include more features, it?s faster than the previous version (unlike the DX9 to DX10 transition). Among the new features is Tessellation, which increases the amount of visible polygons, and multi-threaded rendering, which takes advantage of multicore CPUs a lot better than previous DX versions.

While only ATI?s 5000 series of graphics cards support DX11, Nvidia will join the club later this year, when new games which support the standard will emerge as well. We?ve picked top 10 games that are confirmed to include DirectX 11 support when released.10: Battleforge (available)lable)

Wait, wtf?

While Alan Wake was originally a showcase for Intel’s quad core CPUs and DirectX 10, the game has for some reasons slipped from the PC lineup, and only Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are officially mentioned. However, the game was originally developed for the PC in mind, and all signs point towards a PC version which is delayed in order to get a DX 11 overhaul, and which is slated for release after the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

Is this not a Microsoft studios game?

Also, BF3 looks beautiful. I loved 2 and 2142. :yes:

Ehh? DX10 had optimisations over DX9, games like HL2:EP2 can take advantages of certain DX10 hardware features to offer performance increases over DX9 hardware.

Cool, I didn't know that! is it automatic or you need to enable it with a command line argument?

I for one don't think Crysis 2 looks that impressive.

How can you say that based on one crummy screenshot? going by Crysis I'd say it's pretty safe to say it's going to look gorgeous! (and probably need a very high end machine to run maxed out too :p)

Maybe because I thought the first one already looked GREAT! ;)

Maybe because it is a screenshot from Crysis Warhead, released in september of 2008.

Here is the Cryengine 3 which is what Crysis 2 is going to run on:

The Battlefield 3 screenshot is also not from BF3, as of now there are no screenshots of BF3, i'm guessing that SS is from Battlefield Bad Company.

...

If you have the hardware, it'll use it. Source uses "dxlevel" modes to control what it renders with, 80 means DX8, 90 means DX9, and 98 means DX9 with DX10 hardware features (which is the default)

lol omen, i was just about to make that BF3 correction (only reason i joined :x)

but yea the BF3 SS in the first post is from a BF:BC2 multiplayer video

Also i read in a forum (EA UK BF:BC2 forums) that BF:BC2 will also have DX11. The post was from a dev.

Yeah that was my first thought my second was

OMG ITS A BATTLEFIELD 3 SCREENSHOT

Then I read the thread and was both sadden and somewhat happy at the same time. At least BF BC looks awesome BF3 better look even better.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
