Re: DirectX 11 Confirmed for PC version

What Nvidia cards can run this? I have 3X 9800 GTX.

Does this compute?

Re: DirectX 11 Confirmed for PC version

hopefully my 8800gt is good enough for BC2. i'm going to hold out on purchasing a new DX11 card until BF3.

Depends on your LCD resolution and the level of details. 8800gt wont be enough for highest settings. I'm sure. GVD said in one interview that GF gtx260 may not be enough for highest settings.

Depends on tri sli scaling. 3x 9800 gtx is equivalent to overclocked gtx285(roughly). And that should be enough imo. But you wont be able to run it in DX11 or high AA

Will DX11 make a big difference? If so would it be worth dropping the 3x 9800 GTX and getting a DX11 Card?

Re: DirectX 11 Confirmed for PC version

Compared to my rig with 4850 on WinXP (DX9) everything on Win7 (DX10) works better and smoother. Even good old BF2 works better with more stable fps. Too bad ATI removed gamma correction for DirectX from Control Center.

ps. For World in Conflict new DirectX 10 (11) does matter ... it looks significantly better.

DX11 isn't a requirement, but it does provide benefits over the older DX9/10. I think we're still a long way off from DX11 exculsive titles. So your card will probably last you a while.

There's already been at least one DX11 only game, Shattered Horizon, and even though the system requirements for that game is through the roof it sold fairly well from what I gather. Wouldn't be surprised if we got more DX11 exclusives in the future, as it allows for some things DX10/9 can't do.

It would be worth it for sure. Not only for DX11 features, but you will also save a lot of power

Shattered Horizon

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Shattered Horizon requires DirectX 10 on Windows Vista or Windows 7. There is no support for Windows XP or DirectX 9.

Shattered horizon is DX10. But there are two games with DX11 already. Battleforge and Stalker: Call of Prypiat.

Which Nvidia card would you recommend mate?

None. Nvidia doesn't have a DX11 card out yet, and even if they did, it would be at least $800.

Re: DirectX 11 Confirmed for PC version

There are no DX11 nvidia cards out.

Ah, looks like I will sucking up the power for a couple more months :)

Yeah, im pretty sure there will be settings for that in the menu. I think it will be like this:
*low(dx10)
*medium(dx10)
*high(dx10)
*very high(dx11- greyed out on DX 10 systems)
