  DirectX 11 announced: too much too soon?
Time: 00:28 EST/05:28 GMT | News Source: APC Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Considering that the vast majority of users still run DirectX 9, is Microsoft making a Vista-sized mistake with its latest multimedia API?

There’s no stopping the march of technology, even when folks don’t actually want or need advancements, and Microsoft’s DirectX API is a great example. Even though Valve’s recent hardware survey showed that a paltry 9.66% of gamers have a DX10 compatible PC (both Vista and a DX10 compatible graphics card is necessary to make it into this elite club), Microsoft this week officially announced DirectX 11.

high end Cad-cam, medical imaging, moduleing all have much higher demands than most of the common games in use today.

real time rendering has practical uses in animation. Now if we can get real time Ray Tracing the holy grail of imaging. dx11 is the start of that and is driven from the high end down.

I am thinking about jailbreaking my iPhone, but I tried to hack my PSP once and screwed it up (bricked it because I did a step wrong), so I am a little nervous. Is there any potential for something to go wrong and I break my phone? What am I able to do once I jailbreak it?
