    DX11 question.

    Will it be available as a Windows update for Vista, or is M$ going to force a person who wants it to go to Windows 7?

    One thing that never usually fails is most Windows Operating systems seemed to support two DirectX versions before you need to upgrade the OS. Windows XP DirectX 8/9, Vista 10/11, Windows 7 11/12/13 (maybe?).

    Maybe I am too intoxicated and sit this one out but I was thinking about this the other day.
    X-Box 360 vs PS3

    DirectX 11 will honestly probably be big, just not for awhile. I'd wager that the next generation of console hardware from Microsoft will conform to DX11 and will be released at the end of 2012. They'll have the hardware finalized a long time before that though.

    That means we'll be playing DX11 games until like 2017, most likely. I mean, games will come along with DX12/DX13 'features' but we all know how that is. Unless game engines start being run in software on the GPU, then all bets are off.

    Certain other games do make use of DX11 features, mainly Tessellation, and these are -
    AvP
    Metro 2033
    BF BC2 (I think)
