Here are the new features that will be coming to Direct3D 11: •The introduction of Tiled Resources, a new hardware feature for efficiently managing enormous volumes of data on the GPU more efficiently, enabling unprecedented levels of detail as well as more immersive open-world gameplay without making gamers sit through annoying "level loads". •Excellent tools in Visual Studio for analyzing and debugging code built using Direct3D 11 •Improved performance when accessing memory shared between CPU and GPU when executing compute workloads. •Programming model improvements, including advances in HLSL that enables developers to write more manageable shader code, and reduce runtime cycles spent on shader compilation. •Improved performance and efficiency on mobile form factors by reducing presentation overhead and enabling hardware accelerated overlays & scalers. This enables better game performance on high-resolution displays, and improved rendering latency.

Nice to see performance improvements being made as well as new features. Hopefully they keep at it.

You telling me my Windows phone is going to run faster? Woohoo! (just kidding, nobody has a f***ing windows phone)

I have a windows phone and prefer it leaps and bounds over any bloated android phone which 99% of all the apps would never use.
