[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[DAOWAce]

and only Windows 7 Supports DirectX 11...which not everyone has.

Incorrect.

The platform update released in 2009 introduced DX11 support in Vista.

If I didn't say it before: As others have said; the game should've been built on at least DX10. They're trying to do too much with DirectX 9. If developers know how, DX10/11 will vastly improve rendering performance in certain scenarios, especially due to improved multithreading support in DX11.

There seems to be too much hate on DX10/11, like Crysis. Gone are the days where enabling DX10 over DX9 (with no added features) caused a massive framerate loss.

That aside; my system runs AvP completely maxed out in DX11 @60FPS all the time. What is this about DX11 features being taxing? Granted, it's no Unigine Extreme run (of which I get 40FPS on), but it's still tessellation.

I gotta got my hands on Metro 2033.


Still working on getting my webhost to fix my website..
