DX11 Support. What do you wish for?

You can use directx to draw objects.... Besides the point you could use opengl or write in your own features.

DirextX upgrades would just ugprade previous codes and have new features built in for faster development (which is what I said..)

New features, yes. Faster development, no. unless they changed something since DirectX 8 which was the last time i actually worked in depth with the API.

Thats why i love OpenGL, its extremely flexible and not much harder to use that DirectX. its too bad DirectX has a Monopoly every where you look.

Referring to faster development of things already added as new features into new DX (a new feature in DX11 you could impalement by yourself - though you'd really need some incredible know how). Why write your own when its already prepared (since you dont have to use Opengl/DX.. just helps a lot).

I love how openGL has had features for years that DX has only picked up recently lol

Shows how powerful a monopoly is XD

Apparently, there was a large API cleanup from DX9 to DX10, at least that's what one of my colleagues said when we last talked about DX vs openGL.

It's really a pity. Have you seen the comparisons between openGL and DX performance done by Valve after they started to port L4D to linux? I'm hoping this will be a beginning to break DX's monopoly in games.

On topic: tessellation is about all I would like to see. Looking at, for example, this, it's about the only difference I see, and it's not even that much.
