For the past week and a half, we've been hearing rumors citing various dates for the launch of AMD's DirectX 11 graphics cards… ranging from GDC in China to newly invented delays that would push the launch window in to November.

However, all of these rumors are false, given that AMD has firmed its "Cinema 3.0/DirectX 11" launch. As tradition goes, the North American launch will happen in seven weeks in San Francisco on a very special place indeed - but we're not at liberty to say where the event will take place. All we can say is that it will be someplace that neither Intel nor nVidia would even remember.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I wonder what new effects there are. DX10 was a major change.

Supposedly, Nvidia will be launching their gtx 300 series around late Q4 of 2009.

They will be entirely shipped as 40nm GPU's and with DX11 support.

Or i could be mistaken...

Most likely they'll have DX11. By that time Windows 7 will officially be out.

Windows 7 is said to be set to launch for a day in March 2010. but nonetheless, i would wait until a service pack comes out for it.

Never know what's in store with a new OS (Vista :D)

And WTF skunksmash XD. that source that you posted is cool, but i almost gagged when i saw that cedar plant XD. its got crusty-looking tentacles all over it XD.
