AMD previews DirectX 11 graphics processor

AMD is proudly showing the world’s first graphics processor supporting DirectX 11 at the Computex. AMD says ATI graphics card combined with DirectX 11 will give consumers an ultimate experience because the cards can benefit from DirectX 11 features like tessellation and compute shader. The shader and ATI DirectX 11 card will make Windows 7 perform faster in day-to-day operations like converting a video for a PMP in under 82 seconds.

The retail launch is expected this year, presumably closer to Windows 7’s launch.
