DirectX 9 Poll

[robtek]

I didn't vote either for the obvious reasons.

What some posters dont seem to realize is, that it's not the graphics card but the OS which forces to use DX9.

I voted yes because your poll is not fair. It also puts words in my mouth.

I dont know now ANY person who uses a Win XP for home/gaming. In business yes (for office, price of licence ect.), but not for any kind of play....

I agree with the others that this poll has the appearance of being a bit biased in the choices presented. However, I voted against DX9.

I built my computer system for DX11, because of the implied spec's on the CloD box. Nothing against anybody running XP, I've still got it on my 6 year old laptop.

everybody talks about dx9 is for pirated xp installs, hey i'm using a pirated win 7 so that is a no sense claim, if you have a DX9 card how the hell you can run CloD??? at 5fps, why we have to be waiting for months for a bunch of ruskys that doesn't want to upgrade hardware???

Oh fountain of wisdom, please replace "want" with "can't" in your sentence, to prove the title i gave you wasn't taken completely out of the air.

alright they can't, but to be honest dx10 cards had been out for long time now and are very cheap nowdays, i live in argentina and i know how is to update your hardware with very inflated prices i paid 600 us dollar for my video card when in usa is around 350, i'm not even close to be a millonare but as i love simming i work hard and save money to keep my pc up to date, that's why i said that the "want", didn't want to be offensive.

I have no intention in voting in this ridiculously-worded poll. In any case, has it not occurred to anyone that 1C may well be contractually bound to Ubisoft and/or Steam to support Dx9 - especially since that is what was claimed when the software was released?

If 1C say they have to support DX9, I'll take their word for it. If they say it makes commercial sense to do it, I'll likewise take their word for it. If they give no reason whatsoever why they are doing it, it is still their decision, not one to be taken on a forum full of complainers and 'experts' who clearly know little about what they are on about.

If the next patch meets expectations, I'll be giving CloD another go. If it doesn't, I'm having too much fun on RoF to be that bothered. I'm certainly not going to waste my time adding to this endless stream of pointless speculation, whinging, and negativity.
