Windows 7 and DX11

[MARS]

All new games for the PC seems to take advantage of DirectX11 now. Something an XP user like me doesn't have. I was wondering if changing from XP to 7 just for DX11 is worth it because in my opinion XP is still the better OS.

Well you'l get better video graphics with DX 11 right?
But i heard Skyrim will mostly be DX 9

Yes DX11 means better graphics. It was annoying that I could only play DA2 with medium texture detail. But I don't really want to change my OS...but if the difference is actually a difference then I'd consider it.

Almost no PC gaming nowadays benefits from DX11 still... most are DX9.0c or 10.1

The full DX11 PC gaming support list can be found here:

As you can see, very few so far...

As for the actual quality of the graphics, DX has almost no influence... PureVideo, OpenGL and by 99.99% the graphics card you're using does however.

I could only play DA2 on medium quality with XP
