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.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
