Directx 11 on windows 7 with nvidia geforce graphics card?

I have the new model laptop Asus G60VX-RBBX05,
It came with directx 11 and an NVIDIA GTX 260M 1GB .
but I heard nvidia will not support directx 11 until end of this year or next.
plus not all games support directx 11 since it is new
Does directx 11 contain all the the previous directx's?
Like does it have directx 10 in it?
Like when I play a Game will it automatically activate to directx 10, for a game like Flight simulator x.
or do I need to downgrade to directx 10 manually?
sorry I probably dont know what Im saying, Im not that knowledgable with computers I think.

 

You need not worry about installing other versions as Win 7 comes bundled with DX11 which supports older games as well (DX9/DX10). You are right in the fact your card doesn't support DX11 so will run in DX10 mode.

 

It's been stated by Microsoft that even though your hardware might not be DirectX 11 compatible, it will benefit from some of the advantages of DirectX 11 (multi-threaded resource handling) which is always a positive, compared to DirectX 10 which isolated all the older hardware.

 

Really? That is great news.

 

well, for example, ATI cards support some features that were pulled from DX10 that made the cut for DX11. Those cards don't meet full DX11 spec, but will still be able to take advantage of the features they support.

I think.

In the end, it doesn't really matter, because DX9 is still ruling the gaming world.

 

Hers a table of some of those features which are compatible with existing hardware:

what drivers are you guys using on your 260m?

 

186.81 I think.

 

186.81 have been the best and most stable for me as well.

easiest way to check what drivers you have installed do this >>

 

I recommend 186.82. I bet you will get the best out of ur GPU.

 

Can never have too many charts!

 

How do i down load these drivers, and then install them? do i have to install them after i delete the other drivers? or does an executable to that for you? or are there even exe. to do this haha i know nothing about compueters im just getting into all this =]




btw thank you very much

 

when i try to install the 186.82. from laptop to go

this happens VVV

 

you need to install the modded INF file. read this thread if you haven't http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=258626

 

Probably, you didn't download the Modded Inf.
Download it and put it into the installation folder. I think need allow replacement of file when you put it in.
Then, only install.
