With the release of Windows 7 has the new graphics interface, DirectX 11 entry. Not only buyers of Windows 7 will come to benefit from new graphic splendors. No, Windows Vista users have the option of installing the new DirectX in order to gamble, the latest game in the best graphics can (assuming a corresponding hardware equipment of course).

The final release of DirectX 11 is long since completed, but Microsoft will only provide to the Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, the inclusion of DirectX 11. For the time being is to upgrade the hardware interface in Windows 7 to be ready. Only later should then come as-told-the update for Vista. But the wait does not have to.

Microsoft now has a first beta version of DX11 for Windows Vista released. These are the beta update servers and are thus not as easily accessible to normal users. But Tom's Hardware has now developed a guide how to get the update anyway.

Also not a lot of manual work is needed. TomHardware shall equal or provides a tool that changes 2 registry entries automatically. This is necessary so that Windows can access the update server. Now just let Windows check for updates once and wait. The rest happens by itself.

All other images as well as in the tool also finds her Toms Hardware .

PS: It seems (at least we read in the comments to the article at TH), this trick works only with the English version of Windows Vista. Too bad, then stay the German users well in the rain ...
