BitSquid and Fatshark are excited to announce that the Stone Giant demo, using the upcoming DirectX11 game engine BitSquid Tech, is available for immediate download at many of the more popular download sites.
Key features of the BitSquid Tech (PC version) include:
- Highly parallel, data oriented design
- Support for all new DX11 GPUs, including the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 Series and AMD Radeon 5000 series
- Compute Shader 5 based depth of field effects
- Dynamic level of detail through displacement map tessellation
- Stereoscopic 3D support for NVIDIA 3dVision
PS3 and Xbox 360 support will be available in the fall of 2010.
“With advanced tessellation scenes, and high levels of geometry, Stone Giant will allow consumers to test the DX11-credentials of their new graphics cards”, said Tobias Persson, Founder and Senior Graphics Architect at BitSquid. “We believe that the great image fidelity seen in Stone Giant, made possible by the advanced features of DirectX 11, is something that we will come to expect in future games.”
We added this test today because it focuses on the DX 11 features, tessellation in particular. We recorded an average of 41.6 FPS at 1920 x 1080 which is a very good result. So far it's been hard finding fault with our review sample. The fact that it is a “Retail” box basically eliminates the hand picking of a review sample. Because it is not hand picked it will better represent what we can expect to purchase off the shelf of our local Computer stores.
What a lovely looking little board that is. very attractive and great implementation. Awesome to see you guys reviewing more products just outside the UK viewpoint
Well this came out of the blue! I have heard a few good things about these boards and deservedly so by the looks of it. seems like a radical design well done. Nice review Steve, enjoyed reading this one.
I will be surprised if anyone in europe know this company, seem to be US/Canada only.
I concur with other people though this is a great looking little card at a fantastic price. what are the noise levels like ?
Radical design ! love the GTX460s glad to see KG aint giving up reviewing em
What is their warranty system like in Canada Steve? big deal for me as every card I seem to buy fails.
Just ordered this from newegg. was looking at it for a while but couldnt find any reviews online. hope its good or ill be back 😉
Wish more manufacturers would let you remove the fan like this, I know powercolor did it on one of their cards recently but it was a crappy ATI 5770 I think. this is much more like it. Do they make a 1GB version of this?
NEver heard of them? are they a new make? Galaxy? is this a newegg brand?
nice review steve. They let you keep it :p
Seriously, never heard of them either, are they related to newegg on some level? one of their partners ?
this is rather good for being one of the makes we normally laugh at. pricing is also excellent, but I wouldnt touch a 768mb card. maybe 1gb. good on a budget however.

I have just bought this card and i think it is just amazing for the price range that it is in. it has great overclocking potential e.g. standard clock 675mhz vs good overclock 850mhz. So galaxy has lived up to its name to let only the products that meet the “GALAXY” overclocking mark through to its production.
