AMD Launches World's First Mobile DirectX 11 GPUs

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."

Maybe one of the big names over at Microsoft said at some point he wanted his employees to adopt the "lack of risk" mantra, but instead they all understood "lack of RISC." ;-)

1995 called and wants their "ATI drivers are crap" comment back.

Obviously you have never tried running Linux on a system with a ATI graphics card.

I have three in my system. :3

Linux support is coming, we promise!

Support in the open-source drivers is being written as fast as ATI can verify and declassify docs. Also the r600/r700 3D code should be mostly reusable for these GPUs.

Only all the AAA games on Windows, but clearly you are far more important than them.
