Dirt 2 DirectX 11 Tech Demo

Many PC racing fans have been upset that Codemasters' excellent rally racing game Dirt 2 has been delayed for so long. We may not know the complete reason that it's taking them so long to get it out, but at least the delay allowed the devs to code in support for DirectX 11. DX11 is the latest iteration of the API, it's coming to Windows 7 and Vista, and it is already supported by the newest ATI 5000 series video cards. We've gotta admit, the DX11 effects look pretty damn impressive, though it remains to be seen if all that new eye candy will be completely noticeable while you're actually playing the game and not just watch replays. Either way, kudos to Codemasters for being on the cutting edge and pushing PC graphics even farther ahead of the consoles.
