eventual DirectX 10 / 11 patch, possible increase in performance?

[Dhalmel]

So has Square ever stated they would ever add in these graphic renders? In hopes, this will add better performance to higher end cards.

I'm only bringing this up as WoW, today has officially added Directx 11 to their game. I've actually received a ~20FPS boost from it and thought, maybe this will also help players achieve higher FPS with FF14.

Right now the game is DX9. DX11 wouldn't be to hard to install the textures already in XIV support it so we might not see much difference in graphics but we would see an increase in performance because the DX11 cards would have the extra processes it can grab from.

[Dhalmel]

Yeah it's pretty obvious it's a DX9 game since the dept of field and ambient occlusion features are cpu based,well from I see. If the game have DX11 both of these features are built in the API and would require less resources, well from the CPU at least. Might even look better.

DirectX 11 support would be nice. They might be considering implementing it with the graphical streamlining operations they're doing.

[Dhalmel]

Hmmm upon further thought, I'm pretty sure majority of the developer programming team is primary focused on the PS3 version. Maybe we'll see something when they have a "stable" build for the PS3?

Yes, pleaaaase

Dear lord SE, do this please

I would very much like to see DX11 support added. Maybe they can even do something like a high quality texture pack, and unlock higher quality graphical features for DX11 similar to what Dragon Age 2 offers. Just a thought.

If I'm not mistaken DX11 support would kill the crashing on alt+tab as well would it not?

Word on the street is Fullscreen alt tab crashing is supposed to happen, because SquareEnix thinks it adds immersion to the game.

Little do they know nobody likes it.
