While DirectX 11 is usable on Windows 7 and needed some modifications to work with Windows Vista, the changes will not be added to DirectX 11.1 to make it compatible, instead forcing gamers to upgrade to the newer operating system....]]></description>

<title>AMD Radeon HD 7750, 7770 GHz Edition hit entry level video</title>
<link>http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/02/15/amd.unveils.radeon.hd.7700.series/</link>
<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1202/amdradeonhd7770.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[AMD took its Radeon HD 7000 series to the starter level quickly on Wednesday.  The Radeon HD 7750 and 7750 GHz Edition step back in visual processor counts versus the 6700 line, from 720 and 800 cores to 512 and 640 respectively, but make up for it through more than a year's worth of technology.  Both the new overall architecture and a shrink to a leaner 28 nanometer building process let the 7750 ...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1112/amdradeonhd7970.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[AMD on Thursday retook the top spot for single-card graphics speed through the Radeon HD 7970.  The video card is the first anywhere to use a 28 nanometer chipmaking process and uses this to pack 2,048 cores, or a third more than the Radeon HD 6970 it's replacing.  Performance comes also through a newly widened 384-bit memory bus, PCI Express 3.0, and a full 3GB of GDDR5 memory, again a record for...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1112/intelsandybridge-mobile2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The desktop versions of Intel's Ivy Bridge processors have most of their details outlined in full through a roadmap discovered this week.  The X-Bit Labs copy shows all the chips falling under the 3000 series in the same Core i3, i5, and i7 tiers, with four cores still the maximum for non-Extreme chips.  Clock speeds would have a higher baseline, starting with a 2.7GHz Core i5 (3.2GHz after Turbo ...]]></description>

<title>AMD exec says DirectX getting in the way</title>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1103/amd_huddy_gallery.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[AMD worldwide developer relations manager of graphics Richard Huddy has blamed Microsoftís DirectX and its APIs for limiting the potential of GPUs in PCs. 'We often have at least ten times as much horsepower as an Xbox 360 or a PS3 in a high-end graphics card, yet it's very clear that the games don't look ten times as good. To a significant extent, that's becauseÖDirectX is getting in the way.'...]]></description>
