S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Screenshots Compare DirectX 10 to DirectX 11

[Shawn Zipay]

New screenshots were released today for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. These shots attempt to show off the visual differences between running DirectX 10 and DirectX 11. Let's see what differences you're able to notice, and softer shadows don't count.

So, after all of that what have we learned about the graphical differences between DirectX 10 and DirectX 11? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Please remember that the jump from a 3D API like DirectX to a newer version isn't necessarily about 'making things look better'. If the developers do it right, DirectX 11 shouldn't really look any different from DirectX 10, however, it should run better.

Let's also bear in mind that DirectX 11 is not a large release. It's a small improvement, not like DirectX 10 which was designed around a whole new kernel and driver model, and did away with many legacy features in DirectX 9.

Yeah, I've never understood why they do that.
