Is there any official information is the 7970 version will support Direc3D 11.1 ?
I read that HD 7970 is D3D11.1 capable but I didn’t see any official info.
Thanks!
Lets wait until thursday to see if some more info arises.
About the Zero Power tech I still wonder if they’re able to keep that power consumption under a two monitor set.
Setups like this are not that uncommon nowadays…
What is difference between DX11 and DX11.1?

the most important thing is.. benchmarks!
Yawn on DX11.1 from what I see. Also GL4.2 from what I see supports most of this already….
