Spend 5min an do a little research and you will see that I am right!
There are plenty of Microsoft Links on the subject..
But I know how the uninformed love to bash anything Bill Gates so instead allow me to post something from AMD on the subject, i.e.
Nuff said?
If not set your conf.ini to DX11, or 10.1, or 10.0, or 9.3, or 9.2, or 9.1 and see for yourself!  |
Well the fact that you are making silly comments about "bashing bill gate" which I guess is in your world a humorous jab at calling me a Apple fan or whatnot makes you look like a moron out of the gate. I actually hate apple PCs, and I am not uninformed, so now I will have to mildly embarass you.
You quoted me as saying (which I did): "you are wrong on a number of your points, DX11 has no API for dx9 features and such more then any other engine"
You replied with this: "If they did that it would defeat the purpose of upgrading to the DX11 API..
Because one of the new features of the DX11 API is the ability to select different feature levels (DX9, 10, 11) on the fly."
First off I hate having to educate people so I will make this brief: In the above statement you said that one the DX11 api features was to select different DX levels. ZOMG, you do realize that just means that the API is backwards compatable? For example I could use a DX9 lighting system while also using dx11 tesselation. So its nothing new, its existed for nearly every DX upgrade (they normally build on each other) and the whole point of switching to dx11 is to use the new dx10/11 lighting features among other things. These are completely new for dx11/10 and are "new dx11 features" and they are NOT back compatible. However like said a older dx9 system can be used (of course, not news to anyone but you it seems) instead of the new code etc. Your statement basically was like: "upgrade to a new car, hover car, it can even use wheels if you want!" The reply is then wtf is the point of upgrading? (and the only reply would be say, a more powerful engine but the main selling point no longer is useful).
