yes it's true...
DX11 is built upon DX10.1 (which in turn was built on top of DX10.0), unlike the olden times when a new DX version means a totally new card is needed... the new features of DX11 are wat that's missing from DX10.1 cards... |

iirc Windows 7 comes shipped with DX11...
 i guess wiki is a good place to start...  tessellation and DirectCompute are some of the biggest features of DX11... (though GPGPU is possible since DX9.0c, so DirectCompute is not really sth new... rather it shows MS' firm commitment towards GPGPU...) |

well, it all really depends on u...
if u re already using a DX10.1 GPU, it's not really worth the money for a new laptop with DX11... of course unless, u can upgrade the GPU... if u re looking for a new laptop, of course DX11 would be preferred, but it's not a must... since cards like HD5470 with GDDR3 is not too far ahead of HD4570 with GDDR3... |
