    Well, you few people who have DX11 cards, rejoice, one of the first true DX11 benchmarks i here, from the boys who brought us Unigine Tropics for DX9, 10 and 10.1

    Nicely Im hearing that due to the way DX11 is implemented, if your DX10/10.1 card has features supported under DX11, then you will actually still be able to try them out, just not the new DX11 features, so ATI owners...you probably get tesselation etc :)

    As one of the comments on youtube points out, looks a little like Skies of Arcadia HD.

    Oh to see just how much compatibility is available, I've got a 2900XT in this family computer (friend gave it me in part exchange for some parts he was buying off me), and am running the beta DX11 vista platform update, so Im going to see what features the demo will allow me to try.

    Edit: Well, will definately run ~20fps, 16x AF, 1920x1200, will run in DX11 mode, but wouldnt offer tesselation on a 2900xt. Story might be different on a 3/4 series card. Does look rather nice though.

    whoa... a simple post and so many responses and links. My apologies for not doing the search first, that was stupid of me. Thanks for all the pointers, though!
