    Default Shogun 2 and DX11

    Hi all,

    With the new patch, the game is now optimized to use DX11.

    Not only does the game look better and have more graphical options (we all knew that), but it runs significantly faster.

    After the patch, under Win XP with DX9, I had an average on 35,975 fps.
    With the exact same graphical settings, changing to Win 7 & DX11, my average shot up to 53,625 fps.

    That is almost 18 fps more, or around 50% increase!

    So, if you are still running under DX9 as I was, now is the time to upgrade

    Cheers,

    Glad to hear you're happy with the patch.

    And the scenario you describe is what DX11 was mainly intended for: more efficient calculation of existing effects with a positive net gain in performance.

    And yeah, for anyone still running XP: it's time to move on chaps

    That's good. But a cynic always looks for the coffin when she smells flowers.

    So DX9 performance is awful?

    Well, I had everything on Ultra (except Shadows = medium) and playing in 1920x1200 with MLAA, so I was quite happy with the performance under DX9.

    Getting a 18 fps boost from DX11 is just a bonus!

    You guys might not be aware that the game is downgrading your settings automatically. Check this to make sure the game isnt downgrading stuff.

    and look at the notepad if u see anything in there it means its downgrading ur graphics
