It is quite likely that DX11 will die a quiet death the same way DX10 has/did. Personally I blame the consoles for the non-uptake of new technology and in my opinion the Xbox scenario was a huge mistake for Microsoft, I do hope that pc gaming will come back with a huge resurgence and flight siming as well on the back that said resurgence but I doubt it will. The consoles are effectively strangling the gaming industry in terms of technology in hardware and software.

No, go look back at my mid 2010 posting history and you will understand the joke

Also DX11 offers tangible visual benefits to the gamer where DX10 did not, DX11 wont die out because in a years time new games wont support dx9 (it is too expensive to do DX9+dx10/11 or DX10+DX11, only thing that is holding dx9 around is consoles but now I believe we are moving away from the current paradigm of lowest common denominator in dx9.)
