Direct X 11 !?!
I ran the dxdiag (direct x diagnostics) tools and stumbled onto this. it may just be a bug, anyone else running some sort of alien direct x, that doesn't exist yet?

Ooooo
guess im tired (4am). i thought there was some new hardware in my pc that i have no memory of getting...... what card supports dx11? and how come i haven't heard anything about it? when dx10 was hatched the nvidia site was swarmming with all sorts of advertiing, and such. huh..
I read somewhere that no cards or software yet supports 11. Windows 7 does.....so they are writing code right now to get caught up.....
Not until hardware and software is available will you have the chance to sample it. I think the hardware will be available this fall at around the same time windows 7 will be ready. Whether they are already writing games and what not for it I don't know.
You will know what your on now with the capabilities of your current gpu.
i tell you what if i have to buy new GFX cards to benifit from DX11, i will not be a happy bunny
there must be a way they can utilize existing DX10 H/W for DX11 compatibility...??

DirectX11 is full backward compatible with DX10 hardware.
You can run Dx11 on DX10 GPU (unlike Dx10 with Dx9 GPU).
But don't expect to play dx11 feature on a dx10 GPU, it's totally impossible for some logical reason
Moreover: Dx11 as WARP10 which allow Dx10 rendering even when non hardware complient is detected:
