Ok so the thing is this,
When DX11 was first touted everyone was pushing the fact that DX11 is just a super set or DX10 and so if a game was coded in DX11 then by default it included a DX10 path. This meant that DX10/10.1 cards could in theory benefit from some of the improvements that the DX11 code would bring.
Now Toms has reviewed Dirt 2 with a view to seeing how good or not the DX11 path is compared top the DX9 path and the review states there is no DX10 path at all only a DX9 or a DX11 path.
So either this review is in error, Dirt 2 is blocking the DX10 path on purpose or all the reviewers and tech journo's were fed a load or crap about DX11 in the first place. Just like Gamer tried to tell us
