Notice there wasnt any DX11 enhancements at all, and even the DX10.1 marks were wrong in their testing. If the game isnt patched for DX11, its not going to give you anything but DX10-10.1 unless youre using DX11 HW, then youll see improvements regardless on a few things.
They did the pooch on that review, big time

The MT usage for W7 is already in Vista as well.

Why would there be any DX11 at all, considering that there aren't any video cards that are DX11 capable yet?

In their review, it sure sounds like this is the case that M$ and ATI are trying to put on, no need for DX11, when in reality, they both are claiming the exact opposite. When the HW and SW show up, itll be interesting their take on it at that time

That xbit review was just so wrong in so many ways. In the gpu forum I posted the findings of a 4890 using DX10.1 in a review by hardwarecanucks, where it showed the 4890 beating a 285. Well, just stumbled upon this one too

This looks alot more like HWCanucks than anything xbit put up.
I think they either have it out for ATI, Ive heard they dislike AMD, or they just dont know what theyre doing

We will only see the real benefit of DX11 and Windows 7 when DX11 will be available. For my opinion, I really think ATI is going to release a card of the calibur of the old 9800 pro back in the days.
