@captstubing. Thanks for the heads up m8, i hope you read my edited post, i fear the first post might have been to harsh for some peeps in this forum, (might have made thier head explode!)
I just had a lot of respect for 1c for not bowing to pressure and took thier time on the product to ensure a quality product that truly follows in the footsteps of il2.

Il2 uses a wrapper for DirectX that basically translates OpenGL into DX on-the-fly. It is still running OpenGL under the hood. This is not very efficient but was probably included for compatibility reasons, as nobody could be sure where OpenGL would be going.

In the last 10 years DirectX has matured a lot, while OpenGL is unfortunately not going anywhere. It's definitely the better choice these days to stick with DirectX, even though in theory you can achieve pretty much the same results in both APIs.

Of course I'm guessing here but I think it was a design decision at this time. Remember they might have deadlines that are driving this decision.

I would also add in there the fact that most developers aren't up to date in terms of DX11. There is most likely a learning curve and possible a design curve involved. Think about it. There are very few titles that are DX11 and that's for a reason. Bleeding edge stuff can't be accounted for when developing a game engine from scratch several years ago. Sure they can make guesses but again decisions happend a long time ago and without fully understanding how exploit DX11. I don't think it's the end of the world either. I'm sure they've built this thing with DX11 in mind so moving to the new spec might happen at a later time.

I will upgrade from an 8800GT to a good new mid range card , and probably add another 4-8GB of RAM - only because it's so cheap these days , I already have 4GB.

"Hehe" a good excuse to build another computer.

Currently, I've got intel Q6600, 4 gigs low latency ram, 8800 GTX 512MB VC, 750Watt PS... I can do just about everything I want graphics now.

I definitely will not build anything until I see where I'm at with what I've got. I'm thinking my system maybe fine until Oleg starts tweaking DX11 and includes the ability to seriously upgrade graphics.

I've been waiting 5+ years what's another couple months?

Hi all,

today I have this pc config.:

Asus M4A78
AMD Phenom II X4 940BE
HD-WD 640GB
Sapphire HD4870 1GB VaporX
4GB ram PC8500 1066

Do you think that is still ok for CoD?
In the past I got many trouble with ATI drivers in IL-2.
CoD will be better or I have to change my card with Nvidia's card? Is Gtx 470 enough?

Thanks.
Bye

[JG52Uther]

See how CoD runs on your computer,and see if you need to upgrade then or not.Thats what I am going to do.
I think you will be fine.

[kendo65]

You should be ok with that set-up.

Latest word from the devs is that they have worked to ensure ATI and nVidia both work well, so stick with the 4870.
