64-Bit and DirectX 11

[Riardon]

They said DX 11 is coming soon. By the end of the year they will show us a demo so we can see how it looks. I hope they gonna release a DX11 benchmark so we can test it on our systems. I hope for a 64bit client but I don't think we gonna get it at all. It would be nice though.

There is no difference in the microcode between PC's and XBOX or PS4.

There are many differences between a console that operates games at bare metal and a PC that operates through high and kernel level api's.

Hold UP DX12 is around the corner Lets just wait for that !

I think I am confused on something. I read a forum post a very long time ago or maybe it was an interview on the web with Yoshi-P but didn't they say DX11 and 64Bit would be bundled together and released at the same time?

I think I missed that part. but it would make sense that the DX11 client be 64 bit. we will have to wait and see

Yea I remember that. They said that they have a couple mile stone they want to reach before dx11 and 64bit. The mile stone that they want to get done right before working on a dx11 and 64bit client was the release of the ps4 ver. Since that had been done, the new client should be in the progress if not done soon.

I hope it's sooner than the add-ons. I've got folders of pseudocode ready to be written. I just need a damn language and API.

It's not really worth it, DX12 won't be tried and tested or have any of the 3rd party documentation, edits and various adjustments that we have now that DX11 has been knocking around for a long time.


It's not usually in SE's nature to go for something new when it comes to graphics technology, especially when they're trying to be as safe as they are with FFXIV:ARR.


It's a nice thought, but it's just too much of a pain to work with a new API when a more trusted one is available for use.



Edit: After checking again to see if DX12 had updated on any new additions, it seems we've only heard so far about it's new level of performance due to a complete re-write.

You're never getting addons, deal with it.
