When was this announced?

After Nvidia released the GT200 yesterday, AMD took the chance to advertise for their next graphics card generation. Thus AMD introduced the Cinema 2.0.

The Cinema 2.0 is based on the Teraflop performance of the RV700 chip. For the presentation AMD used two of those cards, which supposedly were running in Crossfire mode, a Phenom X4 processor (X4 9850) and a 790 FX chipset.

The short sequence from the Ruby tech demo can be found below and we also made screenshots. The tech demo shows several effects, like depth and motion blur. AMD believes, that such sequences could be integrated into games in real-time.

A Tetra what? Real-time like:

I already thought Killzone 2 delivered a game personally that looked like their CGI trailer. I really don't know how far they can go. Also this is a fake person: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DigitalMedia/46197A_13_EMILY_1.swf

This is pretty old news actually. DX11 was announced almost a year ago at gamefest.

You're wrong about that being a fake person. She was the subject of that facial mocapping. They never actually showed a rendered face by itself.

You people amuse me.

They never actually showed a rendered face by itself.

What? The whole time, except for when they specifically showed the original plate was a rendered 3D model. Of course, it was only the head up to the neck or so, the body and her hair were still from the original plate. Its not a terribly impressive demo really, though i suppose it shows what it was supposed to show, the mocapped animation.

Looks impressive but so did DX10 and DX10.1 before they came out and still devs aren't using it.

Alright upon looking at the description I take it back. It didn't seem like they were out to prove that they had been rendering her the whole time; rather, that they were able to capture her animations really well.

As well as in Windows 7 Beta, it runs on a perfectly stable version of DirectX11.
