Direct x10.1 mobo and direct x11 graphics card

[Jay85]

As above, can i still run direct x11 games with a direct x11 graphics card if my motherboard only supports upto direct x10.1?

DX11 GPU will work fine on any motherboard that supports PCI-e 1.1+ and some PCI-e 1.0 boards. The motherboard doesn't dictate the highest level DX version supported.

dx is a software/gpu standard; cpu, mobo, ram etc etc don't have anything to do with it
