Anyone else underwhelmed by the new DX 11 graphics?

No excuse for that weird looking water though.

Personally I think it's bugged. Seems like a waste of polygons cramping them together like that - for a fairly hideous looking effect too.

I think what you took was also a bad screenshot too. You do not stare directly down at water, usually you are standing on the edge of a beach as you look at the water or standing it in in the Sea Of Clouds.

Your screenshot has no context, and you are basing an argument around it.

I believe this is a fairly normal position to stand at and that water doesn't look natural.

Sadly that's just a result of the low resolution bump textures. That "line" you see there is the result of a poor job of downsizing the texture - kind of like when you simply shrink a picture in photoshop you may end up with a slightly darker pixel on the edge. Then it got exacerbated as a result of the displacements used in tesselation.

Mostly though, the changes look good.
