It would make no sense to competely redo the graphics engine and leave out DX11 especially when the next sequel will be using the same engine, and BOM as to be DX11 right?
This could be how Luthier as managed to get a 100% increase in performance that he has more than hinted at. Im not saying for certain but I would not be at all surprised that the new patch will be in DX11, and if thats the case then it will be well worth the wait.  |
If the graphics engine update is DX11 only, then i guess it will only apply to DX11 GPUs in terms of performance gains (which i assume is not yet a majority in the Russian market and not an overwhelming one in Europe, these cards are somewhat expensive
).
What i gleaned from the updates is that they are redoing the whole thing, not in terms of looks but in terms of more efficient algorithms for all supported platforms.
As for DX11, i saw a pretty good technical explanation in another thread the other day and it's far from a magic "more FPS button".
Pretty much, the way it works is that you can code a game for DX11 and then just keep its feature set disabled, which means that it reverts to the immediately previous features (those of DX10).
Reportedly the reasons for this decision were delays on Microsoft's end with some of the implementation of DX11.

Ataros is polite. We don't moderate opinions, we moderate their delivery (eg, rudeness, language, etc)
That being said, i see some old faces coming back so a heads up is in order for the sake of fairness. I urge everyone to take a look at the rules and the infraction system in the relevant sticky threads. I see some posts in the old, usual style (accusations and inappropriate language) and i wouldn't want anyone to get banned without having a warning. It happens pretty much automatically now, through a point system interface. Rule broken = points taken = ban if enough points are accumulated. And it's not that hard to accumulate points.
So let's keep on topic and within the rules.
