Acer is reportedly building a new range of gaming notebooks that will incorporate various high-end technologies including a DirectX 11-capable graphics chip.What else you need to game on this.The card would be one of the newly launched 5870 or 5850 ones, mostly the latter.It’s termed with model as Aspire 8942G-728G1280TWN.Aspire 8942 will feature a friggin super cool config an 18.4″ 1080p LED display, a 1.6GHz Core i7-720QM, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, an AMD Mobility Radeon HD5850 with 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM, dual 640GB HDDs, and a Blu-ray drive.

The Aspire 8942 will also house four USB 2.0 ports, 802.11a-n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ExpressCard, HDMI, a five-in-one card reader and more. An eight-cell battery will power the system, which weighs about 4.6kg (over 10lbs) — or about as much as two average 15″ notebooks, as stated by Fudzilla.So that’s bulky but not as the ASUS one.

There are no details on a price or availability as Fudzilla reported, but it seems likely that the Aspire 8942 will start shipping in January or shortly after.Only thing is it’s too bulky but the config is mind blowing and the price too would be at the top of the sky.;).In the  mean time check out comparison of DirectX 10.1 with DirectX 11 and also DirectX 9 with Direct X 11 for two games.
