AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[Oztopher]

Are there more features on dx11 not being utilized yet?

Crysis 2 and rage will be a good test

Yep that's true, but what was meant was when DX11 becomes the norm, then the likes of the GTX 580 will probably be obselete. In fact i don't think DX11 will ever become the norm, DX10 hasn't and that's because of dev's coding for consoles. By the time next gen consoles come out, DX12 or whatever will probably be here.

I mean, GTX 580 gets about P6000 on 3Dmark 11, it's only a matter of time before single GPU's will be hitting 20k easy, albeit 2-3 years from now.

I think i'm starting to state the obvious now.


SKYMTL; considering that there's every possibility you have the cards in your possession now, you're either gearing us up for something focused purely on price/perf. or simply playing them down for more surprise

I'm guessing that 32% over the 5870 includes tessellated games as well? Don't forget the fact that fermi rocks with tessellation. But also that cayman will apparently be 2x the tessellation power of 5870, there's another factor to consider when judging 6950 performance.
