DirectX 9 Poll

[Warhound]

Sukhoi.ru has a similar poll..if better worded, and there the Dx9 users are at <5%

I think there's little point arguing there are more Dx9 users than these 2 polls show. It might be pointless trying to get Dx9 dropped for CLOd, but with luck all the noise about it convinces the devs to at least drop it for whatever comes next.

Only 15% of Steam users still use XP, and you can bet your kidney that among flightsimmers that number is way way lower even.
"We" are known to have above average computers and by the time BOM/ IL2 MMO comes out that number will have dropped even more.
Who thinks the graphics guy spending weeks purely on Dx9 instead of hitflashes ,clouds,reflections,Anti aliasing,etc etc etc... is worth it for the future releases?
