Direct X 10/11 Question - Answer (Translated)

[Dreadnought]

While I agree... DirectX is the way to go... The PS3's PSGL is in fact based on older OpenGL API's....
Of which SE actually has tons of experience
Regardless though, you're right, the shaders and textures in this game would definitely benefit from DX10/11

To put in layman's terms for anyone who isn't a nerd like us...

A large part of the games graphics are running on the CPU and aren't even optimized to run multi-threaded very well...
DX10 and to an even further extent 11 just take certain 3d rendering jobs and task them to more efficient places by utilizing the GPU and multi cores better

>.> THEN WTF SE? my computer runs Crysis 2 flawlessly on max settings and i just know that if FFXIV supported dx10/11 it too would run alot better....

there is proof in several places in this thread that your lying through your teeth SE, do you really think its smart to lie about the functions of a console/computer to computer nerds? you just had a handful of proffessionals tell you your either incompetent or just plain lying all in one thread. so sad...
