Gamers are exited as well as worried as the latest DirectX 11 is set to launch in the later half of 2009. As a gamer it’s hard not to get excited as DirectX 11 will come with new advancements in the game technology but many in gamers community are also worried about the compatibility of DirectX 11 with the current graphics card available in the market. As we all remember with the launch of Direct X 10 all previous graphics card were incompatible with DirectX 10 and we were forced to buy the latest graphics card.
The latest DirectX 11 will touch three main areas:

1. Tessellator is a new technology which enables games developers to create smoother, less blocky and more organic looking objects in games and it’ll show up when you look at the silhouettes of hills and mountains or the profiles of characters in games. Previously artists had to trade off quality for performance, now artists will have the freedom to create naturalistic scenery. The tessellator represents a natural next step in gaming hardware (in fact the Xbox 360 graphics chip that AMD designed already has a tessellator, and AMD graphics hardware has featured tessellator technology starting with the ATI RadeonTM HD 2000 series right up to the latest ATI RadeonTM HD 4000 series cards today).
2. Menagerie is another new addition which allows games programmers to treat the GPU in a much less graphics-oriented way; indeed, they can almost treat it like a highly parallel CPU. Menagerie will help access the hidden features of present and future chips which will help in getting higher frame rates.
3. DirectX 11 will be much more efficient at using the horsepower present in multiple CPU cores and will provide the opportunity for both higher frame rates and games which are more realistic as they contain more detail.

In the difficult times of hard recession we are expected to invest again in graphics card to make our lives less painfull so save that money to buy the new graphics card.
