lol, It's not like any of those games take full advantages of the DX11 capabilities, Crysis was arguable a breakthrough when it came to dx10, however as it turned out it was all possible in DX9 as well, even if DX10 boosted the performance.

DX11 will grow with time.

I have only an upstream that low. But for lots of players the downstream has to be high not the upstream.

What? Have you ever programmed in DX before? Because what you're saying makes no sense.

It makes sense to people who know about how the engines function. So I dont have to type it all out (and as while I have modeling experience in Maya, I have only done basic programming), why not use google?

Simply put in general, DX10 was a new pipeline/system that people had to learn but gave little-no benefits. DX11 is a upgraded version but its far more efficient, has far better features and is easier to work with/program. In fact DX10 originally was meant to be what is now DX11 but I believe they released it early to coinside with Vista.

Sorry should have selected only the text that I was referring too.

I code for a living but program in DX as a side hobby, and in terms of difficulty, the changes I've had to do to my code was minimal.

I can understand it being difficult for full blown development teams to modify an existing graphics engine or create an entirely new one but that is more of a man power / cost issue. If you structure your code properly from the start, the API calls you make from your code should be invisible to the operating system, i.e. I write a function to pixel on the screen, my code doesn't care what DX version is installed on the PC or what DX version the graphics card can use, the code automatically calls the appropriate DLLs to draw that pixel.

I see that the recommended system specs for Rise of Flight are, for the CPU:

Intel® Core™ Quad 3 GHz or Intel i7 3 GHz


These are higher than the recommended CoD CPU specs which are:

Intel Core i5 2.66GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 2.6GHz

I am no expert, but how/why is this? ROF is an older game (albeit not that old), so shouldn't it be less demanding? Or is it testament to the coding skill of Oleg and team that they have managed to get more from less? Or is there simply more detail in ROF?

PPanPan

what about Ati 5970 and in general Crossfire and SLI support ?

No word on multi gpu setups yet :(

Oleg said along time ago that Multi GPU's will be supportd. :)

Wasnt here by that time then,thanks!!
