S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Screenshots Compare DirectX 10 and DirectX 11

Oh boy. Developers seem to be developing a habit out of jumping the gun. Games have just begun to use DX10. Many games are outraged at the thought of having to buy DX10 hardware, while others are beginning to grudgingly accept it. Hell, many games seem to feel downright betrayed at the mention of DX10. Now they want to add features for DX11? No, the game obviously isn't going to force you, but who will actually use this? A couple hundred people?
According to the Steam Hardware survey results, less than 30% of gamers are DX10 equipped.

I don't think it's a conspiracy or some ridiculous crap like that, but DX11 doesn't move forward nearly enough. This isn't evolution. This is a tiny improvement that you have to look hard to see. They should wait until atleast 50% of gamers use DX10 and then roll out DX11 in a few years in the form of an evolutionary step. Every other DX has provided huge upgrades in graphics. If it only benefits developers, then what's the point? DX was made for gaming and gamers are the ones who play the game (we're half the picture.)
