Is DirectX 11 compatible with xp?

Question

I might be getting a ATI Radeon 5770 for Christmas it has DirectX 11, is this compatible with win xp sp 3
or do I have to get win 7

Answer 1

Upgrading to W 7 would make sense, if your XP box can even run W7, since DirectX 11 is not, and will not ever be, offered for XP.

TIP: Your ATI Radeon 5770 will still run under XP, but, with limited features.

Answer 2

DirectX 9 was the last version of DirectX to be officially supported on XP. For DirectX 11, you'll need to upgrade. You could always look for a modified version released by the community, but it will obviously not be supported by Microsoft, and most likely won't run properly.

Answer 3

Direct X11 is only available on Windows 7, Windows Xp only supports Direct X9
