64-bit Gaming
If you’re a gamer, you know how graphics, sound, and interaction capabilities are becoming richer. You
probably also know that the hardware limitations of 32-bit PCs can limit your gaming experience. As more
people start using 64-bit PCs, more games will be available to take advantage of its powerful processing.
And because Windows 7 fully supports 64-bit PCs, you’ll be ready when they arrive.
DirectX: Direct3D 11
As part of the newest DirectX Graphics Technology Platform, Direct3D® 11 helps game developers create
high performance games with richer, more realistic graphics. With a DirectX 11 compatible graphics card,
you’ll be playing games with higher frame rates, more organic, realistic looking characters, smarter arti-
 cial intelligence, and more natural-looking effects. A large subset of the Direct3D 11 feature set is also
available on existing DirectX 10-compatible graphics cards. (See also DirectX 11: DirectCompute in the
“Works the Way You Want” section.)
