DX 9 or DX 11?Big Grin
For me, DX9 is faster than DX11, you really need to test this by yourself m8, because everyone has a different rig, so yeah...
Depends on game, hardware, etc.

You're best to experiment for yourself.
DX11 is usually slower, but remember it's less developed than the Dx9. One game I found Dx11 good for is Okami, as it runs faster without copy EFB, but in Dx9 that will leave a frozen overlying picture on your screen, while in Dx11, it doesn't
Dx9 is faster...
^Not always, just usually.

ATIRAGEPROTURBO

I haven't tested this myself, but I would honestly put twenty real US dollars down on a bet that OpenGL mode will be significantly slower than Direct3D mode across all ATI hardware given the same or equivalent settings. Can anyone else verify?

again, it depends.
Native games, however, will run much slower in opengl. this can be seen when you compare cross-platform games like half life 2. they will run significantly faster under direct x on windows then they will with opengl on a mac (equal hardware, of course)

Sum it all.
eventually DX11 will be much better than DX9 in a later time
