amd-cardAMD has updated their website with a list of 11 reasons why you should run out and buy a DirectX11 card today.  The list has some of the obviously marketing hype, but also a nice basic list of some of the new features in DX11.  The cliff notes version:

  • Shader Model 5.0
  • Faster Frame Rates
  • Tessellation
  • DirectCompute11
  • DirectCompute11 (again, yeah it’s in there twice)
  • MultiThreading
  • Texture Compression
  • Render Post Processing
  • Unified Driver Support (NVidia has had this for a while, right? This isn’t really a DX11 thing, so much as an AMD thing)
  • DirectX11 Games (with a list)
  • “Only DirectX 11 unleashes the full potential of Windows 7!”

Read the full details on their site.
