DX11 Performance

[Vespar]

Sorry if I missed this piece of information, but have they said anything about when they would release the DX11 client?
They keep saying with Heavensward, but if thats the case, who wants to sit 2-4hrs patching the whole 2.0 client up to 3.0 again and miss out on EA time.
I hope that they release it like a couple of days before hand to give us time to upgrade for when the big 3.0 patch hit.

As far as Ive heard during Live Letter's and Interviews it will be out with the launch of Heavensward. The new client may take time to download but dont worry, I doubt the servers will be up for some time during the maintenance. If you have a decent connection speed you should have time enough to download it all.
Also, if I'm reading the JP blog correctly (where these screenshots were posted) the upcoming benchmark will have DX11 support as well to test it out.

(Would be great if someone whose Japanese is better than mine could confirm that for me)
