14 DAY TRIAL // As the time for launching next-generation GPUs draws near, NVIDIA can't seem to hide the information on them, with bits and pieces making their way to the web, this time regarding the DirectX support.
The GeForce GTS 400 and 500 series served their buyers well, with their support for pretty much everything, including DirectX 11 graphics.
Now, thanks to the roadmap we spoke about two days ago, it was revealed that the Kepler GPUs would possess next-generation DirectX 11.1 features.
Add to that PCI Express Generation 3 compatibility and you have just what next-gen PCs are expected to offer, especially with Windows 8 closing in.
We know that Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs will support this too, but they definitely won't have the same prowess as NVIDIA or AMD cards, so there's no real danger on that front yet.
