Keep in mind the OFFICIAL 1C, UBI, STEAM advertisements state, i.e.

VIDEO CARD: DirectX® 9.0c compliant, 512Mb Video Card (1GB DirectX® 10 recommended)

Note DirectX 11.0 is not listed let alone recommended!

But because 1C is using the (supports) DX11-API you can try different 'feature levels' by manually editing your conf.ini file

The following should go without saying, but just to be safe, it is probably best to state the obvious.. That being to 'try' DX11 settings you will have to have a DX11 compliant video card!

The DX11 API support is the best thing to happen for guys who love to tweak things and are interested in how different 'feature levels' affect, the FPS and the way things look. For those types they may find the following Microsoft link interesting

MS DirectX 11 API feature levels

Here are the different 'feature levels' you can try out in CoD

Render=D3D11_0 i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D 11.0 features.
Render=D3D10_0 i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D 10.0 features.
Render=D3D10_1 i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D 10.1 features.
Render=D3D9_1  i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D  9.1 features.
Render=D3D9_2  i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D  9.2 features.
Render=D3D9_3  i.e. The hardware supports Direct3D  9.3 features.

For example as noted the DX11-API default is set to DX10, i.e.

Render=D3D10_0

For example if you want to set (limit) the 'feature levels' to DirectX 9.1 use the following

Render=D3D9_1

For example if you want to set (try) the 'feature levels' to DirectX 11 use the following

Render=D3D11_0

It's that simple!

Yet some like Tree would have you belive that it can not be done!

lol, what a load of Toss, show us your screenshots with CLOD running in DX11 then. Ive no doubt it will run, if you have windows 7 and Dx11 card, but it will run very slow and your fps will be low and it wont look any diffrent. The reason being is they did not include the full DX11 version. The API was a way of fooling buyers into believing that the game was DX11,You may fool some people on here but not me.

So are you saying you don't have a DX11 compatable video card? Or are you saying you don't know how to edit your confi.ini?

I see you edited your post since my last reply.. So which one of your buddies PMed you since your last post and told you that you were wrong and that CoD would in fact run using DX11 feature levels?

What?? are you real? Ask Luthier if CLOD uses DX11 then come back and apologise to us all for talking such BS for the last few months.

Pardon me.. You keep flip floping on this subject.. So a min ago you were claiming you allways knew CoD could use DX11.. And now your fliping back and saying it can not use DX11? Should I wait 5 more min until your back to saying CoD can use DX11 at which point a reply to your last post will not be necessary?

Anybody every tried to play Cliffs of Dover with a 512MB Video Card ? Guess it looks like a flicker-book on a LSD trip.
