AMD Launches World's First Mobile DirectX 11 GPUs

Posted by kdawson on from the forty-nm-of-fast dept.

J. Dzhugashvili writes "Less than 4 months after releasing the first DX11 desktop graphics card, AMD has followed up with a whole lineup of mobile graphics processors based on the same architecture. The new Mobility Radeon HD 5000 lineup includes four different series of GPUs designed to serve everything from high-end gaming notebooks to mainstream thin-and-light systems. AMD has based these processors on the same silicon chips as its desktop Radeon HD 5000-series graphics cards, so performance shouldn't disappoint. The company also intends to follow Nvidia's lead by offering notebook graphics drivers directly from its website, as opposed to relying on laptop vendors to provide updates."

    Perhaps this will increase the actual quality of the Drivers which have been historically so bad?

    The snide "are people STILL using technology X?" comments when technology X is the clear market leader are just annoying though.

    Are people STILL being snide on the internet?
