    The gt335m doesn't support DX11 features. DX10.1 and below, only :(

    I think only a couple cards support DX11; too bad the 335 doesn't.

    Think there may be a few more than a couple now. Probaby more DX11 cards than DX11 games.

    I'm guessing any AMD branded card is now directX 11 with the older ATI cards directX 10.1 and lower

    Most of the newer Nivdia mobile cards are now directX 11 and 3D aka GT445M and etc.

    DirectX 10.1 is not to bad, as directX 11 enhances multi-threading even on older cards. Although newer hardware specific functionality will not be available on older hardware. DX11 GPU processing or what ever they call it, would have been nice on an M11xR1 C2D. Oh well....

    I run the game Crysis in DX9 on my M11x as I can get better FPS that way. :)
