DirectX 11 - the one sure thing you'll want as soon as Windows Seven ships to shelves a few years from now. Revealed back in Gamefest 2008, DirectX 11 turned heads with its venture into multithreaded computing territory and support for using shader processors as additional processing power. Today, however, Microsoft's Kevin Gee detailed what the software engineers at Redmond had planned for the API, and we've compiled a summary at the full story.

In a string of luck, AMD's best graphics solution for this season comes a good three weeks before Spore and Crysis Warhead has a chance to whisper, "Peek-a-boo!" You can bet that every brand out there who's been sticking with ATI video cards has a special kit for you bleeding edge techies, but just how much moolah are we going to shell out for a Radeon HD 4870 X2?

It's like a geek's dream come true - two ladies you've always wanted for the price (and mass-energy ratio) of one. Or something like that. While Intel's really busy with Larabee, the Germany-based Advanced Micro Devices decided that they could do with their own version of CPU-GPU technology. Everyone expected this from the beginning: the unison of CPU (AMD) and the GPU (ATI) into a mesmerizing package. How it took this long to come to realization, you won't find out at the full story. Read on for more claims, instead.

Sometimes possessing the bleeding edge in consumer graphics isn't enough. Having cards dancing at the knife edge is also a quest for some. Its this fact in a hardware enthusiast's life that news of the official Beta drivers from NVIDIA ring like angels' voices in their ears, and you can be sure that the first few hundred thousand downloads are the guys with rigs to boast. Learn what's cooking with NVIDIA's latest official "test" drivers at the full story.

NVIDIA may be sticking to monolithic graphic cards, but AMD sure as hell isn't. In fact you probably were one of hundreds of thousands who guessed that after releasing the sweetly-priced Radeon HD 4870, they'd be back with twins. If you banked money on that, you'd better collect - Guru3D says they've just received the prototype of the top-of-the-line, dual-GPU RV770-spec graphics card that's tied to just one generic name: the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2.

Bloomfield - or as you would probably have heard from your techy pals: the next CPUs in line for the X58 platform. Somehow, some way, NVIDIA crawled out of its shell and agreed to integrate it's patented SLI technology onto Intel's chipset. It's an alliance that people always anticipated since the merging of AMD and ATI, yet always seemed eluded reality. X48-based motherboards are still CrossFire only, so will the PC enthusiast finally receive optimum CPU performance with state-of-the-art GPU technology in X58? More at the full story.

Whoa, hold your horses, people - we say preliminary Wii support because while there is Wii remote and emulation code integrated into the latest build of Dolphin, the GameCube emulator does not successfully play Wii games. Also note that while this update is Wii-centric and applies directly to Windows gamers, it's essentially here to call out to developers who would like to pick up the project.
