New DX11 techdemo previewed: Stone Giant

There is a new techdemo around the block showing DirectX 11 graphics power. Stone Giant rivals Unigine Heaven 2.0 and should arrive in two weeks. First screenshots and videos haven been emerged.

Impressive. But good only when seen on Real time instead of compressed videos

[dirthurts]

I love tech demos. I wonder if they'll release a playable version?

[Convas]

I hope that game comes out on consoles, it looks pretty tight. But they need to post HD vids that can stream to Windows Media Player or something, the quality of the youtube video is pretty poor.

What game? This is a tech demo for DX11, which requires one of the soon to be released DX11 GPUs, which current gen consoles obviously don't have.

I have personally been waiting for Tessellation for a while. Having some modeling background experience this will open up a whole new level graphical scalability in games.

[dirthurts]

Dx11 = pc only.
And it's not even a game. It's a tech demo...

[Chris_TC]

A console running this benchmark would probably implode or disintegrate.

Very cool.

Kind of looked like a giant stone Necron.

Trying to compare a TECH DEMO to a final retail game. Stop trying flaunt the PS3's power and come back to me when it plays games at true 1080p and has a dx11 GPU.

[dreamtheater87]

What does that have to do with anything? Oh there's a rock giant in GoW3 as well... What's your point?

Uh... I noticed vaseline all over the Titan and nothing but low-res textures behind Kratos, your point? The DX11 demo craps all over your Gow3 video. I swear its always a delusional ps3 fanboy that has to 'go there' every time.

[evrfighter]

lol did he just post a video of a les-res giant?

[hoops]

You are actually comparing a DX11 tech demo to God3? LMFAO
That was a good one. DUDE...dude...The PS3 cannot even play 5% of its games in REAL 1080P with REAL HDR and REAL AA sampled a minium of 4 times. And you have the brass tacks to make this post? LOL
A $100 ATI 5xxx series GPU is more powerful then the entire PS3.
Maybe you need to lay off the crack pipe just a bit

Im still on dx10. I think im going to try and hold off for 6-7 more months then upgrade. That way there will be more selection of dx11 games and hardware at lower prices. Im still pissed that I paid $450 on my first Evga 8800gtx card. I got my second one for SLI for like $100 bucks off Newegg. I think my q6700 @ 3.6Ghz and SLI will last 6 more months.

[champ21]

your setup will last the generation 8800gtx on its own is a very good gpu, ancient yes but will play any of todays games in 1080p. In Sli 8800gtx is still very competitive even with any single chip dx10 gpu.

Also the quad core running at 3.6ghz is dam good, at higher resolution its the gpu that gets strained anyways. Hence that cpu is great.

Enough tech demos!! Games, games & more Dx11 games!!!!!!

please!!

[Omega Zues]

My 5870 is dying to run a fully mastered DX11 game.

[OpenGL]

I know that feeling. I've had my 5870 since late September and there are still no good DirectX 11 games to take advantage of it.

[likedamaster]

Reminded me of SOTC. Imagine a Shadow of the Colossus 2 with this tech.

[dragonelite]

Isn't this a benchmark program, no game?

[Letros]

Some companies just make engines, which they use Tech Demo's to show off its capabilities in hopes of getting licenses, check out Unigine Heaven/Tropics as well.

Welcome... to the real world.
