Default Slightly depressed ...

Having spent £900 to replace a perfecty capable DX10 GTX295 with two DX11 GTX580s just because I was assured that COD would be enhanced by DX11 I am less than cheerful.
Having said that I am future proofed (for a year at least) but nevertheless

I doubt the extra grunt your 2x GTX580's have over the GTX295 will be wasted.

There is only one person to blame...

Alien Predator and Dirt 2 are the only games I know that support Tesselation.

There are around 20 games that have some support for DX11.

Months ago it was clear DX11 was on the back burner for BOB.

Now that it's not fully supported... back to the darn whining, from the same people.

All we have heard for months is SPECS, SPECS, and SPECS. The nuisance postings are now answered. Read the specs, and adjust your system accordingly.

What's the recomended and minimum spects regards 6DOF hardware?

Can we use mouse, keyboard, webcams with FreeTrack or FaceAPI, TrackIR solution?

I really like to know that and in this stage of production you devs maybe can finally answer this simple question...

It's the only lack of feedback that really scare me...

Thank you for your courtesy in pointing that out Dano.
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 .. 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.
Phil

Glad you like the 580's, I hope they didnt screw this up and they will support them. Currently I am number 150 or so in the EVGA step up que, so will get mine in a few weeks. I am very dissapointed too, I didnt care so much about dx11 features but the fact there is no DX11 at all is a huge blow. This game will not have a long lifespan if they dont get DX11. In fact windows is cutting off support for XP this year (confirmed) and most likely vista (maybe).
Wtf are they thinking?

Well, If this game is so demanding in graphics like it seems to be, DX11 may not be so great if fps goes down when it is enabled.
And fps GO down with tesselation enabled.
