    Default Doubts about DX11

    I have a doubt, regarding the performance of the PC in DX11. My question is when the DirectX11 out, the pc will maintain performance for FPS or will I need to lower the graphics to be with fps I had before the DX11?

    I do not know if I did it right ...

    If you use DX11 but keep all your settings as they are now performance should be better, since from what I've read DX11 is faster than DX9. Performance will start to go lower once you enable the DX11 features though, like AA and advanced shadows.

    erm not necessarily. in fact dx11 has more gpu demanding features. u not tried running any dx11 benchmarks with tess?

    however we dont know how well dx11 is going to be optmised. i dont think anyone but CA or the devas can answer your question.

    rest is pure speculation.

    I just hope for higher res textures. If you have the Videomemory to support it, you will probably see a big increase in quality without much of a performance hit.

    Tesselation for a game like shogun 2 seems redundant to me; the fact they need to patch DX11 into the game leads me too believe it probably won;t have a very big suite of DX11 features anyway.

    It'll probably be tessellation ala AvP (if any), which does absolutely nothing in that game.

    I would say it is almost certain you will get lower FPS with the same settings in DX11. Considerably less.

    But hey - it should look much better!
