Experimental support for DX11 (enabled by passing '-d3d11' on the command line or adding SET gxApi "d3d11" to the Config.WTF file)

Mine is running on DX11 and it does look awesome. I never noticed the snow blowing around K3 until recently. Framerates are also up since the last patch.

thanks man, I appreciate your help

or the shorter version:
goto config.wtf
SET gxApi “d3d11″

I ran that on a 5850 over 3 screens and it spazzed out a little but very very purdy.

Works great for me and it improved my FPS.

DX11 also scales down for DX10 and 10.1 GFX cards (I have 4850), so if your card/OS is capable of DX10+, I recommend you give it a try. If it doesn't work for you, no harm done, just switch it back.

Oh didn't know that will give it a go tonight thanks.
