Electronic Theatre reports on the delay to the PC version of Codemasters' forthcoming Colin McRae: DiRT 2, delayed to incorporate Direct X 11 on Windows 7.

With the introduction of Microsoft Windows 7, DirectX 11 will be made available both as part of the operating system and as a downloadable update to Windows Vista. Codemasters intends to immediately take advantage of DirectX 11 features that add to the realism of the racing environment. Hardware tessellation will further improve the appearance of water and other surfaces as well as crowd animations.
