    windows 7 dx11?

    I swear i read somewhere that windows 7 might not have dx11 or that it isnt out yet but i just looked at my dx diag and it appears i have direct x 11. So am i right in thinking windows 7 is sorted with dx 11 already?

    That's what MS was saying, DX11 in Win7. It's not a massive change anyway only a couple of new features.

    Cue the first wave of DX11 cards at the end of the year.
    And the lack of games using them for another 6 months after that.
    Unless these cards ninja-speed DX 9 & 10 I'm not seeing the need to upgrade right away, especially since we've only really just got new games consistently using DX10.

    Re: windows 7 dx11?

    My next card will be a Dx11 one to go with W7, although I'm sorely tempted by the great prices on current cards at the moment. I'm not too concerned that the games won't make too much use of them for a while; GPU requirements for games has been pretty stationary for a while so I'm hoping it will last a fair while before an upgrade is required.
