3DMark11 supports DX11, Vantage supports DX10 [though I could be wrong]
edit: from the Vantage Steam store page: "Notice: 3DMark Vantage requires a DirectX 10 compatible video card, and Windows Vista or Windows 7. Use 3DMark 11 for DirectX 11 systems."
I would recomend holding off on purchasing the next version of 3DMark until the next version of DX is unveiled and the 2nd generation of GPU's supporting it are released [and of course purchased by yourself].
They were really cheap in the 2012 Christmas Sale. I have both now and dont regret it because the intergration is good from Steam>>3dmark>>online comparison. even past reformats/reinstalls.
Think of it this way, when (if) DX13 is released its not as if DX10/DX11 is going to disapear overnight. Microsoft is going to make DX11.1 Windows8 only (from what i have read) and since windows8 is going to flop anyway I dont think DX11 is going anywhere!
We haven't announced any pricing or offers yet, but you can expect a similar approach to our previous versions: a free Basic Edition with limited features, a complete paid Advanced Edition and a Professional Edition for business users, industry and press.
All three tests use a DirectX 11 engine. We then use Direct3D feature levels to create tests for specific classes of hardware. For example, Ice Storm uses a DirectX 11 engine limited to Direct3D feature level 9_1, which makes it ideal for testing DirectX 9 based mobile devices. You can find out more about Direct3D feature levels here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff476876(v=vs.85).aspx
No, your license will not be upgraded. Each 3DMark version is a separate product. I'm not sure about Steam, but we will have a discount for existing customers in our own store at http://www.futuremark.com/store. Since keys can be exchanged between the standalone and Steam versions, that is an option if you want to save a bit. Or you could always wait for the inevitable Steam sale. :-)
As many websites and magazines continue to use 3DMark 11, the scores are still relevant and can be compared. If you have the latest high-end GPU/CPU you should think about upgrading to the new 3DMark. Click on the "download demo" to try the free version if you are not sure.
I have four EVGA 680's Classified, and when I run the new 3DMark with either a 3WAY or 4WAY SLI setup (1600p) the scores does not seem to be logical at all.
