    I found this very good article via google and wanted to spark some interest into what dx 11 is bringing.

    Another article just posted:

    This one has some pretty pictures:

    This was just posted, but kind of sucks there are no DX11 screen shots:

    Colin McRae: Dirt 2 PC will support DirectX 11 - Update: No DX 11 shots

    It looks like DX11 will run on dx10 cards.. That's simply awesome.

    Not entirely. They said that it will run on DX10 cards but those cards lack some features what DX11 can offer. So it will run, but not with all effects.

    Does that mean that the tesselator ATI put into their cards will finally be used?

    Re: DirectX 11: A Look at what's coming.

    I have a GTX 275 (Should work maybe) BUT I also run XP as it is for me STILL the only way to play games, and yes that DOES include W7 64 as the sound architecture is terrible, the same reason I gave away my Vista CD. Useless sound, meaing the drivers break and things like FRAPS which works 100% in XP recording ALL sounds I want do not work in 7.... So no DX 11 for me
