DX11 to be announced in 2~ weeks, nvidia to talk about it too...

I know for me the greatest aspect of DX11 will be the incorporation of GPGPU capabilities. I'm currently using CUDA, and while performance is fantastic, the api is a little akward. Though I expect that dx11 gpgpu performance won't come near native CUDA on release.

I'm also on Vista, but really only went that way as I needed 64-bit for 8GB ram, and XP-64 support was disgraceful at best. Never had a moment's hassle with it (well apart from Creative drivers which were improved one month after I installed).

Hell, the o/s even detected my highpoint raid card and applied the correct drivers automatically.

Fancy graphics and quadrazonic 27806.1 sound do not interest me when the games that incorporate them are a load of poo.

Offloading a hundred quid for something to make my machine faster=good
Offloading a hundred quid to make it run slower???????? Naaaaaaaa!

I nicked mine, but that's OK, cos so did MS.

(well, actually, not nicked, just played silly buggers with my license, my laptop is "owed" a vista downgrade, so I applied it to my desktop instead......lapper can't even run XP quickly enough to stop me having a major brain heamorage, so what chance vista?).


I use Vista as a launcher for the two games I have that use DX10. Could never use it for day to day (well, I could never use 95,98 or XP either, too complicated for day to day use, gimme a nice easy, logical penguin ANY day).
