3D News, GL, DirectX With a preview version slated for November 2008 and beta versions as early as 2009, Microsoft's newest DirectX will be here sooner than you think. ExtremeTech's Loyd Case digs deep into DirectX 11 and discusses its new features and how it differs from DX10. While improved graphics are expected out of the new release, DX11 hopes to improve upon crunching complex graphics with the GPU through hardware tessellation, which many people hoped to see in DX10.

Direct3D 9? What's this, the year 2002?

Game developers are continuously pushing the envelope of graphic cards and you're harping on about 6 year old technology?

How many DX10 only games are currently on the market? Seems any I've seen support DX9/DX10 still. Tell me again how DX9 is dead and gone when nothing ont he store shelves supports it any longer and everyone gives up there legacy games.
