DirectX11 is on vista now!

If you haven't already done it, then you guys should run windows update, look for "Platform Update for Windows Vista - KB971644"

This will put DX11 on your vista.

It will say so in dxdiag. let's see how it runs with DX10.1 cards! I'm about to run GTA IV and see how my fps goes.

GTA IV isnt DX10 unfurtunatly and there isnt any DX11 games out yet .....correct me if im wrong,i doubt there will be any DX11 games for a loooooong time yet.

Yeah take the new cod:mw2 or the new BF for example,Im sure they are still DX9....people are going crazy over the new 5 series from ati because theyre DX11,but they dont realise that when DX10 or 11 comes into more games the 5000 series simply wont be powerfull enough to take full advantage i think.

Linkin,Heres a list of all current DX10 supported games.

Dirt 2 is the only DX11 game out right now

I know gta4 isnt dx11, i was testing to see if the new version of dx did anything for performance. So far i can say it helped a little.

I have Vista 64bit and a GTX 260, and I have zero DX11 games.

So, who cares if my OS is now DX11?
