as title above, the gc box it says dirextx 10.1, can my gt220 support dx11 on windows7? if i install windows7 on my comp will my video games able to utilize dx11?

this is my gc detail : http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/product_gef..._gt_220_uk.html

When they say a certain DX version is supported, it means the hardware has optimized instructions to process DX API's of that version. Some games would allow you to run but you don't get the features. Literally it means you are running with limited features. For example in Dragon Age 2, you can select directx 11 but you can only enable certain options.

Hope this helps.

Edited: corrected the information. Apologize for the confusion earlier

no your card does not support Dx11...
GTX400 series onward only support DX11.

8800GT = DirectX 10 card (not even 10.1) playing DirectX 11 game (Battlefield 3):

hmm i believe battlefield 3 has directx 10 mode as well. so the 8800gt can run.
just like dirt3, it has directx11 or directx9 mode.

You are right, my bad and I apologize. Basically most games these days do not run only on DirectX 11, they have a few options and backwards compatible.

claw pun forget about the multi mod directX...
anyway all the latest games have at least 2 directX mode. IINM.
Even the windows as well have a few directX mode to support older and the newest cards.

Yes, most game does and please forgive me for the mistake old man makes mistakes too, haha

No support for DX11. You can only play games with DX9 with minimal detail and low resolution. I tried Codemaster's GRID on this GC, even low setting also struggling at 1920X1080 resolution. Thats a very old DirectX10 game. This graphic card cannot play modern games, its only meant for HTPC.

you can play but not fully supported.

so will my computer lag if i force to use dx11?

It is already stated by so many that your GC does not support dx11.

DirectX is backward compatible.
If the game has DirectX 11 exclusive features, like tessellation, you won't see the effect of it.
