The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
For anyone interested here's the download page to the Unigine Heaven DirectX 11 Benchmark, you can run the benchmark using DX10 but you don't get the Tessellation feature.
@Diamond: Maybe in a year or two. The games I want that have DX11 stuff aren't using it to as great effect as that benchmark. The DX11 stuff in DiRT 2 and STALKER: CoP isn't as impressive. It's cool, but not cool enough to jump to Win 7 and DX11 over (might as well do both at the same time). Clear Sky runs great, so I'm hoping to get similar performance in Call of Pripyat. If not, I'll live...for a year or two. :P

Yea I agree, just wondered after you made that comment what your opinion was. Although when the next service pack comes out for Vista, Vista will have DX11 too, supposedly. At least you wouldn't have to go to Windows 7 if you didn't want to.
