Driver Update]]>Aug 5th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/
Two Words:

Won't work.

The GPU chip itself has to be designed for the new instruction sets. In some very rare cases a driver update would add some additional DX compatibility (I think the 9.0 b/c releases maybe?), but generally you have to have a new GPU for that. You will need a GTX 300 series or Radeon HD 5000 series for DX11.

But really I don't see it as a big deal. DX10 adoption is still fairly low. So many games are cross-platform now, and it's not always cost-effective to make enhancements for the PC versions, so they're limited to the 3-4 year old graphic card tech in the consoles.]]>Aug 5th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/Aug 5th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/Aug 5th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/

BFG Tech is way funnier and more memorable than EVGA, I don't even know what EVGA stands for.

I'm not knocking either as a brand though, I'm sure they both make great cards.]]>Aug 5th 2009 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/Aug 5th 2009 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/Aug 5th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/I wish the equivalent of the Intel Core series would come out by Nvidia or ATI. ]]>Aug 5th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/Aug 5th 2009 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/05/bfg-gifts-gtx-285-and-gtx-295-cards-with-self-contained-liquid-c/Aug 5th 2009 11:50PM
