DX9 vs DX11 Question

[ElHeggunte]

The DX11 benchmark really doesn't look at that much better than the DX9 version. I haven't examined really closely but they look very much the same.

It would be easier to see the difference if you could sit still and closely examine the environment instead of constantly zipping about like in the benchmark (and if the thumbnails in the benchmark settings weren't designed for ants). Still, the differences are pretty minor if you were already playing the dx9 version with max settings.

Though besides unlocking dx11-specific settings, I thought the primary purpose of the dx11 client was better performance through better optimization. Looking slightly better was just a bonus.
