Direct X 10/11 Question - Answer (Translated)

[DoctorMog]

XP machines can run FFXIV?

[Dreadnought]

yeah dont know a whole lot about graphics cards and such, but i payed like $85 for mine about two and half years ago and it has direct x11 support....
to me thats pretty sad considering the one thing i do know is that PC technology outdates itself within a few months, so how is it that not many people are using 11? isnt 11 old news now anyway?

Not saying it's valid, just that SE will hide behind the fact that Windows XP exists at least until year 2024.

May 2011 valve hardware survey:

Windows 7 64 bit 40.64% +0.54%
Windows XP 32 bit 21.63% -0.90%
Windows Vista 32 bit 13.73% +0.39%
Windows Vista 64 bit 12.13% +0.61%
Windows 7 10.44% -0.68%
Windows XP 64 bit 1.00% 0.00%
Windows 2003 64 bit 0.33% +0.05%
Other 0.11% -0.01%

As you can see, only 20% of surveyed PCs are non DX10 capable either because of hardware or software.

DX10 came out in 2006. It's pretty old by now.

One would hope the XIV login client is taking its own aggregate system statistics so as to show how many users could benefit from DX10.

LOL, Steam on Win2k3? WTF is that...

Im reading both jp and na side of the forum since beginning of this forum and noticed some good rep responses not being translated... so I just wanted to help after reading translation is reason why dev notes takes time... would be best if you dont like my translations to ignore me add me on blacklist. if many dont like it either i can stop.
