Yes, there are optimizations in the rendering subsystems, and new shader capabilities (not to mention hardware tessellation) - alas these are very minor things in the grand scheme of graphics programming.

Every single game on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are currently DX9 - and admittedly there are games that look absolutely stunning.

Far more important than any DX version numbering, graphics wise, are elements like atmospheric scattering model utilized, impostoring, LoD code and a billion other things that depend on the art and code - and not which graphics API was used in the creation.

1+ People need to understand this before complaining.DX11 is new, there are some advantages but minor ones,on the other hand the fps hit is noticeable for so poor graphics improvement.Dx10 can be stretched for at least 1-2 years more and can provide excellent graphics.
