Thread: Direct X 11.1

It was reported by CNET that Direct X 11.1 will be for Windows 8 exclusively. Wonder if SE planned to upgrade to that in the future. If so be prepared to upgrade to Windows 8 if you want its benefits(?).

I doubt it will offer many benefits tbh.

I also don't mind going to Windows 8 once the community has modded it so it's not appalling.

Vista wasn't that bad once the community had released a series of mods for it. 7 was basically all of what the community did built in.

When directx 12 and 13 comes out..then SE should be thinking of upgrading. Windows 8 however...

I'll say with window 7 i pay money for it and it should last and get 11.1 DX also seem a little unfair and making us get there new os lol.

Like all windows based operating systems, there's a bad one followed by a good one.

I'm fine with upgrading to 8's successor once it's been released. It will probably be the only way to use the new hardware released anyway.

I have 8 on one of my computers, you really arent missing anything. Some neat tricks and an annoying start/button page.

Well it's probably based on the fact that they want to compete with Apple for the tablet based OS.

Though, I agree it's stupid. Most people using Windows 8 are going to find a way to disable to tablet UI and use it like a normal OS.

I was thinking of formatting soon, so I was going to have a look to see if Windows 8 was any good.
