ATI to Promote DirectX 11 Usage at Game Developer Conference

ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, plans to promote DirectX 11 as well as its tessellation feature rather seriously at the forthcoming Game Developers Conference 2009. ATI has a long history of tessellation support in its hardware, but with the Direct3D 11 the feature becomes compulsory and hence will become mainstream.

During the GDC ’09, ATI/AMD will host two sessions about DirectX 11 and its influence on the forthcoming games. It is noteworthy that the arch-rival of AMD’s ATI business unit, Nvidia Corp., will not specifically cover DirectX 11 at the Game Developers Conference this year, but will concentrate on some other technologies that are also likely to be points of interest for video game creators.
