Does your ocean water look like this ?

[hey_moe]

This is the new DX11 preview of a water shot...see what ya think>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvDJzpBOieU

[datter]

Well, it doesn't move like that but texture/colorwise REX can get you close to that.

[MCDesigns]

That is pretty sweet looking. I'm still waiting for virtual surfer to come out, DUDE! :Banane09:

[noddy]

But will DX11 be compatible with FSX?

[6297J]

But will DX11 be compatible with FSX?

And will any of our existing cards be compatible with DX11?

[Cazzie]

My water moves, looks more exquisite in DX10, but still moves in DX9. Lemme see if I can do some morning chores, take a flight and record it. Screen captures cannot do it justice.

Sure don't look like dat though Moe! :jawdrop:

I was under the impression DX11 comes with Windows 7 and have seen quite a few using Windows 7 with FSX already.

[jmig]

I didn't see no fishies or plastic bottles and Styrofoam floating around. It ain't real looking, Moe Sorry ;)

[Bjoern]

Why shouldn't they?

Of course you won't have any benefits from 11s new shaders and whatever it will include..., but DirectX has always been backwards compatible.

The water in Empire Total War looks already very nice, but the video looks nice too :d

It's pretty cool what talented people can do:

Exactly....in order to see these you'll need a new DX11 graphics card,when they become available. DX11 won't mean anything to FSX as it's not a DX11 game platform.

It isn't even a DX10 platform let alone a DX11 platform. It barely happens to "work" in DX10. Rumor has it that the new Nvidia GTX300 series will have DX11 support but I think it will probably wait one more generation of cards, closer to Windows 7's release. I don't see Windows 7 coming out much earlier than the holidays this year, if that.

What did you Do Moe...

Buy them all out

I wanted one... for my next computer build. LOL

[Dangerousdave26]

I was under the impression DX11 comes with Windows 7 and have seen quite a few using Windows 7 with FSX already.

You are right it does and I never realised it until today.

[SolarEagle]

I'm quite sure Win7 beta does not have DX11, as it's only a technical preview available through the DirectX SDK.

Screen shot from DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag.exe in the System32 folder)

Version shows DirectX 11

[hey_moe]

No...the first one I ordered was DOA and it went on back order...just my luck, then this one came is stock the next day for 60 bucks more so I said just ship that one. The only difference in the two was the color and it comes with a game...woop-pee chet huh. BTW, get this chet, I went down to UPS to see if they would release it to me today and they said there was no way...they said I had to wait till they delevered it first....I was having some Sata cables coming today and when I got back home the cables and the new video card was there......goes to show ya the left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing. I bet cha the computer games comes tommorrow.I'll post some shots in a minute.

[hey_moe]

Both cards are the same size. I really thought the 295 GTX would be a tad bit bigger. The water block I brought from DangerDen was 200 bucks with shipping. The reason I wanted this water block was because I read the bad boy runs a bit hot. This set up here will be the most I spent on a single video card.Can someone lend me a dollar for a cup of coffee...lol.

[kilo delta]

Whatcha waitin' fo........get that card installed!!!

Congrats on the new card Moe :ernae:

Yeah, curious to see the difference in the 295, I have the 285, looks like the exact one you have there too. :ernae:

[Alexraptor]

As i recall all DirectX 10 and 10.1 graphics cards are supposed to be fully compatible with DirectX 11.
Which makes one wonder where they screwed up in DirectX 10.1 since Nvidia cards don't support it, but appearantly will handle DX11.

[hey_moe]

The 295 does a outstanding job on my rebuild. I had a 260 in there but I wasn't impressed at all. Right now I am waiting for some new memory. The 8 gig DDR3 I have installed now doesn't do that good of a job. This new gamming memory should do the trick for me...I hope....it cost enough...Mike

Yes to all of the above.. Anyone riunning windows 7 is running DX-11. will you see whats in that video?? probably not. Why? because i can almost gurantee that that demo is running on a tesla platform. If you can afford a tesla then yeah, you'll have those waves, if not, well,, your among good company :D..

Dammit!! Twice in one day.... count your wins Moe... I shall be back for revenge! :ernae:

[crashaz]

TECH WAR!!:woot:

[hey_moe]

I didn't plan it that was..lol. This thread was suppose to be about the DX11 water and then GT182 had to bring up that video card thing. Believe it or not I have been fighting this BSOD with some hardware problem for over a month. Ended up being the new BFG video card.
