"It's great to have the latest and greatest, but that's not what Wii U is about." Don't get people too excited with threads like this. DX10 is confirmed, but that's where Wii U's capabilities end. |
False. Only DX11 was ever mentioned in the hardware releases. To be specific, it said a DX11 tessellation unit.

That would only be true if it were using a stock GPU base like the 360 and PS3, but even then, those two had some augmentations to do things the stock cards could not. Nintendo has never used a stock CPU or GPU. They've always used completely custom made components.
The Wii U can have whatever they specified.
