In a new blog post on the AMD website they talk about how their new graphics chips support the DirectX11 API which will launch when Microsoft releases their new OS Windows 7 on October 22.
According to the latest information four games that use DirectX 11 are on the way:
-
Aliens vs. Predator (February 2010)
-
BattleForge (DX11 patch expected in October)
-
DiRT 2 (December 2009)
-
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat (October 2009)
In addition to technical details, the article also reveals that support for DX11 is snowballing, as the slate of games to use the API has now tripled (to three). In addition to the already announced DX11 support in DiRT 2, they also list GSC Game World's upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat and EA's already released free-to-play RTS BattleForge as DirectX 11 games.
