Just bought the game, having read horror stories about fps issues. The first time I tried the game I used the Coretech2_x64_11 file and it ran fine, but only gave me the option of using DirectX9. So I tried going straight into the game through Steam and it also ran fine but gave the option of DirectX11.

Any ideas how to get the best possible performance: e.g. which .exe file to open, is DirectX11 better than 9 for this game?

Thanks.

EDIT: I am using 64bit windows with a DirectX11 compatible video card.
