DirectX 11 Announced, Compatible with DirectX 10 Hardware

[Jul 22, 2008, 4:33 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This Gamasutra article, also from Microsoft's Gamefest 2008 developer conference in Seattle has word that DirectX 11 has been announced, though no specific release date is specified. Unsurprisingly, this will be for Windows Vista and "future versions of Windows," but not Windows XP. The good news is that there will be no new hardware requirements, so DirectX 10 hardware should be DirectX 11 compatible.

1/2 the performance at twice the cost. No thanks. Sticking to XP.
