That's old by now though, MS has improved DX after that, 11 is actually quiet a lot better compared to 9, 10.1 also did a decent boost, and Windows 8.... although I hate to say it, is faster than Windows 7, and I'll convert eventually just for that after I'm more used to 8 on my new laptop.... It's nowhere near assembly level but they generally get better with newer DX versions and driver updates, and also why I miss DOS on that regard.....

Carmack said that for this new gen... in late 2011.

That's like 2 years ago when devs were still mostly doing work with DX9 level graphics though. Most of the devs that bitched at the time were always bitching about DX9 because it does perform kinda bad in Windows, MS finally got the fucking message at least and is improving the overall.
