Our game technology engineers are working with a major developer to create a never-before-seen DirectX® 11 technology. What do you think it is?

DirectX11 Evolved ™. You heard it here first.

At first I thought amd own version of physx but that not something never before seen.

I would guess an equivalent of PhysX.

A driver that is easy to install and works in games without requiring 'work arounds'

Only joking before the hackles come up

Except one that actually accelerates physics calculations instead of just crippling features on competitors hardware :cool:

A driver that is easy to install and enables voltage adjustments in all cards when in CrossFire mode without requiring 'work arounds'

I'm thinking its something Microsoft / Next XBOX related

A physX emulator or wrapper.
LOL

Whatever it is i hope its locked to AMD hardware and any games featuring it are crippled on Nvidia hardware

Yes just like they have done with physx all theses years.

No, let us not stoop so low we are at Nvidia's level, its not nice in the gutter, its full of rats

Joke ^^^

Its hard to think of something thats relevant and not been seen before.

There are some areas of lighting/shadows that haven't been possible to do and/or seen running in realtime but not sure they'd make such a big announcement over it.

Ultra high res/streaming textures have been done.

Physics and associated vertex manipulation/deformation has been done.

Could be some kind of advanced hair/fur shader but again not entirely something not seen before.

OH WOW

directx 11.2

The trouble AMD will have is in the title "a developer", everyone else will just ignore whatever they do and AMD will do little to promote it.

My guess would be some kind of anti-aliasing.

NURBS/patch based surfaces? Per-pixel displacement mapping? Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces like pixars OpenSDS (http://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/)? PTEX support? Except they already showed that in the demo with the animator with the dragon.
Have they announced what they are going to reveal what this is?
