  • @humppamonsteri It's because that advancement in graphics not only creates more "eye candy".. It immerses you further into the experience.. Not only that, it allows for developers to do more (if they can afford to) and create games they otherwise could not without the power.. I remember opinions like yours back in the sprite days, when polygons first hit the scene.. I'm glad nobody listened to them, because I LOVE me some 3d games!!!

  • People really need to stop using Windows XP.

  • Does Tessellation create any extra burdens for the CPU or even RAM, or is this a purely GPU-related feature? As in, if I have a measly 2.6Ghz quad core CPU running a game just fine with a DX10 card, will it have any impact on performance if I upgrade to a DX11 card and use DX11 features?

  • @Usul573 A ton only support DX10+ on PC. It's becoming the new DX9.

  • So happy I took geometry - I FUCKING UNDERSTAND TESSELLATION!

  • @3likin It's using 2D shapes, connected (tessellation) to form 3D shapes. The higher the tessellation, the smaller the shapes which means more shapes, which is more detail.

  • So..It's basically better 3d shapes and lighting?

  • @sk8erpro10

    Some games out there support DX9, DX10, and DX11.

    It's a little weird, but works I guess.

    Some games only support DX10 now.

  • @bliglum Spot on:D People always accuse PC gamers of being focused only on the graphics, but its not just the graphics, its the capability of developers to create new and innovative experiences that can be enjoyed by gamers everywhere.

  • Can you downgrade Direct x so it puts less stress on your computer?
