Even if they don't add DX10/11 features in the PC version, there still has to be room for other optimizations else i don't really understand where the whole processing power gets used.
I agree, and wish they hadn't bothered with DX9, only the highest end DX9 cards can run the game half decently, and 80 bucks will get you a DX11 card that performs better.

And yup, there are tons of optimizations they can implement on the current engine, DX9 is not a performance blocker.
