Official system requirements

Wtf are they thinking?

Luthier said that DX11 is not enabled right now since there are no DX11 features enabled. All the features currently enabled are DX10 and DX9. He said that they do see the advantages of DX11 and it is a top priority for them to enable soon.

Expect to see a patch in a few months, hell, maybe even a year, that will enable DX11 and some of the features that require it. You're not getting a 1/2 finished or crippled game in the meantime, just one that doesn't have some of the additional features of DX11 which honestly isn't as widely supported/implemented in the current games standing as you seem to think it is.

Another thing. A huge portion of those DX11 ready computers that are showing up on Steam and other sites are people with bare-bones systems/laptops that have integrated video cards that are "Directx 11 compliant" despite straining and working up a sweat to play solitaire.

I never said dx10 doesnt work on win7. I said few games used dx10 because it was a performance hog, hard to program for and the only dif was in the lighting effects. DX11 performes better then dx10 for multi core pcs. If enable features like tesselation etc yes its slower, but a hell of alot faster then doing the equivalent on dx10 which would be unplayable.

HOLY CRAP! I'm going to buy you a plane ticket to Moscow! Someone has to warn Oleg that his game is unplayable before it ships!

Thanks Jockey for clarifying this. If they add in DX11 in the future that is good, but I still expected dx11 on release. In any case your soothing type has calmed me

I think this will be my last post here because there are too many unkind people around. Not all by any means, I've had some very positive and pleasant responses but the level of debate at times is playground style and offensive so I'll continue to read all your posts with interest but I don't have anything further to offer in the way of input.

Oh dear, one rule for you, another for everybody else is it? Sorry that you took offense at me pointing out that Oleg is not to blame for you misreading his comments and upgrading specifically for CoD.

Oh .. and I'm very pleased with my dual GTX580s Dano, I just felt irritated that the slight extra graphical quality I'd hoped to see in COD by using them won't (for the forseeable future) actually appear. There seem to be a variety of negative feature changes to this application as we near the release date even if to some people they are (justifiably) trivial. Don't promise what you can't deliver is a good motto to live by.
Bye all.

Show me where Oleg promised DX11 at launch? In fact, if you look at Olegs posts he has on more than one occasion explicitly stated that people should wait until CoD is out before upgrading, he even said that he was going to do so himself.

Quit trying to blame your presumptive purchasing on somebody else, you bought the cards and that was yours and your choice alone.
