Its a DX9 game, and DX11 for vista is same as DX11 in win7, but games run a bit smoother in win7 due to general performance increase, not due to dx11.

i will upgrade my pc soon. i will by new graphics card probably hd 5870.
now it comes with driver for win7. but for my mobo, it has no driver cd for win7.
i visited the gigabyte site it has only audio & lan driver for win7. btw what is the diff. between vista/win7 32bit and 64bit? which will be better for me?

Difference? nothing special, both(vista, win 7) run on same code base, however WIn7 is optimized very well, it outperforms even XP in terms of program execution time and stability, Win 7 64bit is better as it can utilize more than 3GB memory and usually applications run faster.

Pros and Cons of a 64 bit system:
1.You can address much more than 4GB of memory, which is ideal for avid gamers, CAD, video editors and heavy multi-taskers. However, any 32 bit software you use will still be restricted to 4GB memory – you need a 64 bit CPU, OS and applications to take full advantage of the extra RAM.
2.16 bit applications will no longer run. Although this is unlikely to be a problem, if you use very old software (from the Windows 3.1 days!) then it will not work under a 64 bit OS.
3.Existing 32 bit drivers no longer work.If you have older or poorly supported hardware you may find that it can no longer be used. Got a 7 year old scanner that just about works in Vista? You may not be able to get it working in 64 bit Windows 7.
4.Unsigned kernel-mode drivers no longer work. Along with the issue above, the inability to run unsigned kernel mode drivers will cause problems for old hardware. (There is reportedly a way to bypass this check).
5.Running some 32 bit applications on a 64 bit OS could actually be slower. The additional overheads in running 32 bit software in 64 bit mode could cause a slight degradation in performance. It will take some time for 64 bit software to become the norm.

@EI8t

Update your driver and stop all background programs(like download managers antivirus).Run the game and in advanced video tab,under texture tab keep all the settings at High.Don't use automatic option.Hope this helps,it works for me.

Machinarium is a really nice game. Check it out, especially those with limited hardware. Really fun timepass. :) Thanks to whoever recommended. I think it was fieldgunner. Try this one vamsi.

^^ Don't know ( don't discuss about ripped verions of games in here :p )
As I have the Fallout 3 Games of the year edition which comes with the all expansion packs on a separate DVD. Actually got from a friend :p

Just discovered Arefu in fallout 3 and before that rescued shorty and red from the Police HQ. Completed ( before that completed the super duper mart quest ) the minefield quest of Moira though I had not still returned to her

as I have to deliver the the letter from a girl in Megaton to her family in Arefu but found all of them are dead. So talked with the sheriff and added the quest to find that girl's brother and to deliver the letter to him ( the name could be Ian ). When Getting out of Arefu just saw a merchant and today I will deal with him :p

I backed up the save game files for GTA IV from appdata. I had to reinstall my OS. when I reinstalled the game and pasted the files in the same folder and when I run the game, it is giving me an error: "error loading save file. please check your HDD.". In some forums, it was said to backup the xlive folder also. but since I didnt know this before, I formatted the older OS. I also found a "xlive wrapper" application for this issue but it too didnt work. Can anyone guide me how to restore the save games? I have patched the game to 1.050. Do I have to play from the beginning again?
