Part of AMD’s dedication to gamers is their Gaming Evolved program which is their commitment to PC gaming innovation and promoting an open and advanced experience for gamers.
Gaming Evolved combines AMD’s expanded support for Microsoft DirectX 11 games (which use the latest graphics technology from Microsoft), along with AMD Eyefinity multiple-monitor configurations, AMD Dual Graphics (which enables multiple graphics processors in one computer), and native AMD HD3D support to enable standards-based stereo 3D display capabilities for a truly immersive 3D visual experience.
With AMD HD3D, gamers can experience amazing stereoscopic 3D gaming image quality for a more realistic experience. AMD HD3D technology supports more than 400 titles through AMD’s technology partners, and AMD’s open 3D ecosystem approach encourages the broadest selection of 3D solutions, available at the most affordable cost.
Some new partners include Eidos and Deus Ex: Human Evolution, Bioware and Dragon Age II, Codemasters’ DiRT 3 and more. They will all include native support for DirectX 11, AMD Eyefinity and AMD Dual Graphics technologies. Another DirectX 11-enabled game that is coming (which I quite liked and made my top 3 of E3) is Blacklight: Retribution.
Kevin O’Leary from EA talks MoH and AMD in 2010
The core philosophy of AMD’s Gaming Evolved program is “Gamers Come First,” representing our deep commitment to PC gamers, PC game developers, and the PC gaming industry. As the PC gaming technology leader, AMD is dedicated to delivering the innovative technologies, open standards, and solid industry support needed to help create the best possible gaming experience on the PC.
While it certainly looks promsing, I’m the skeptical type. To help assuage my doubts, AMD is sending over some full setups for us to play test, benchmark and generally drive into the ground with gaming. If they survive, they’ll be the new PC review rigs here in the main office, if we slag them into melted heaps of silicon and solder, they’ll become trophies on the bookshelf.
I have a feeling that they’ll be more the first and less the second. Well, they might still be trophies in a sense if they make it.
