All these threads need to be immediately locked. The idea that software can boost fixed hardware by double is impossible. They say the same thing about DirectX on PC but DX9 still has better performance than any of the newer ones....

Hey I am tired of this crap from MS as much as the next guy, but actually DX11 is a lot more efficient than 9.

Define efficient. It looks better with a small performance loss

 

If a game gives you the choice of DX9 or DX11 the DX9 version will run at a higher FPS than the DX11 version (with some graphics loss)

Wrong.  It is common knowledge amongst the PC crowd that cards generally get higher framerate in DX11 mode.  In fact I just did a benchmark myself to confirm it by doing 3 runs of the Metro: 2033 benchmark for both DX9 and DX11:

-The settings were maxed out accept for the DX11 only features.  However DX11 forces you to leave tessalation on.

-DX9: 29 FPS

-DX11: 30 FPS with the added benifits of AAA and Tessalation being on.

 

So yeah bud DX11 gave extra FPS even with the extra DX11 effects on.

Eh, no. It is common knowledge that DX9 gives a higher FPS than DX11...... Your one benchmark for ONE game does not make a fact. I am not arguing that DX9 is better than DX11, DX11 is better overall but DX9 is still the better in terms of performance.
