Looks like 3D games are going to get into another world of ultimate graphics. With directx 10 still doing the magic and dveeloping ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Device said they expect DirectX 11 compatible graphics processing units (GPUs) in 2009. Next Year!!!
Update : CTP version of Directx 11 released, Download SDK and run time environment.
With the snapshot availble at Gizmodo it seems like DirectX 11 next OS to Vista ,Windows 7 will play a major role in GPU usability. If I dont remember wrong Windows 7 should be out by next year end or at least a preview.
Moreover on this article it seems like AMD will be running the next processor with 16 cores ( 40nm technology ) and will be using Directx 11 which tells us how much power would be required to drive it.
