DX11 is a viable option in the drop-down menu of WoW's Graphics Options while running a GTX 260. I only know this
because I have 2 sitting in my closet. If a card doesn't support DX11 at all (even through emulation) then that drop-
down menu will be completely darkened out (unavailable).

You could be right about faster CPUs being able to handle software rendering better because I haven't tried it since I
upgraded to this 2600. With this recent discussion I'm tempted to do more testing to see what I can come up with.
