Thread: Direct X 11.1

Funny thing is that I just installed Windows 8 yesterday out of sheer boredom (I got it for $15 lol). I don't have any problems with it other than the Windows 8 version of Internet Explorer 10 sometimes doesn't want to work. Other than that, it's good. I LOVE the travel app that's built-in on the Start UI. I love the different places in the world and it will be great with educating (I worked at a daycare and I'm trying to find another center to work at, though I doubt I will bring my laptop there to educate; maybe a Surface Pro 8 tablet later on). Transferring files and backing up to an external hard drive is a lot faster. Oh, and my drivers got updated to newer versions, including my processors from Intel (went from the 2006 WHQL on Win7 to 2009 on Win8).

I will tell you that I did do some benchmarks for games and while the benchmarks do lag a bit, I can tell that the NVIDIA drivers aren't optimized yet for the OS. They were the same way when Windows 7 launched, from my experience.

EDIT: Oh, and NVIDIA drivers have had DirectX 11.1 support for a few months, it's just that Windows Vista/7/8 has not updated their Runtime version yet. FYI
