I'm still not ready to trade in the ol' 4870X2 just yet. ATI's new card is sounding pretty impressive. It's too bad their older cards can't just go DirectX 11, considering they've included many of the necessary features in their past 3 generations of cards (like the tesselator).

I hope they do a decent job with the next Stalker game. The first one was alright, but the second stalker fell apart half way through the game. It's like they just gave up half way through. And the need to put bandages on all the time to stop bleeding, that was annoying. Like there are no bandages in a medkit. Come on.

DX10 cards will be able to use quite a few DX11 features. Don't you worry.

I've never been into Stalker. I do have a 4890 but at $399 launch 5870's imma have to wait it out.

Battleforge looks mighty interesting however.

However the title left out

"Also, it's rather obvious that the fourth game in the DX11 series will be Alien vs. Predator (beginning of 2010) as the Rebellion developers make an appearance in a DX11 video from AMD. "

Initial DX11 support seems impressive so far. I don't think there was this much support for DX10 at its launch.

Ya, true. There where only a couple available. Heck, Halo 2 didn't even use it (not that it really needed it mind you) and that was supposed to show off what Vista could do. Tray and play, whoop dee doo. Even now, games are being released without DX10 support, and it's been out for how long?

Also, Wikipedia apparently states that Battlefield Bad Company 2, Crysis 2, F1 2010 and Grid 2 will also be using DirectX 11. I'm sure if games warrant it, we will be seeing some older games being patched to take advantage of the new features, at least some of the more popular ones.
