Doirect X 11 has been released for vista. Just check Windows Update for 'Platform update' or something like that. Nothing major but you might as well know. There aren't any DirectX 11 games yet though.

ArmA 2 isn't DX11, Dirt 2 isn't released, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat is (IIRC) only released in Russia.

I'm glad I own Stalker.

But it isn't just DX11, it's a whole host of the things.

Look it up on Wikipedia.

thanks for the update. I don't think having DX11 for Vista is going to make any difference unless you have the hardware. Those who have the ATi 5000 series cards can really benefit from this it appears.

no.

you need games (or atleast some effects in the game) specifically made for DX11 platform. then you also need DX11 hardware to see/use those features.

there aren't currently any dx11 games even out yet, so nothing to see here. i hear Dice have ported their Frostbite Engine to dx11, so we MIGHT get some dx11 features with BF:BC2. also Dirt 2 is behind the corner.

i'm not convinced that stalker will even utilize it properly, according to some ugly, out-dated-looking screenshots.

DX11 adds some things for DX10 cards.
