i wonder how much cash those people got for saying all that.....

facts: directx 11 is better but not as good as they say it is.

they are making a chicken out of a feather

sigh....

Hmm, I wonder what those twenty games are, only know a hand full right now.

Sucks I got a new computer with directx11. It sucks. I want to sell it because I got about 200$ worth of new games and was not aware of this software, thanks family...

For those who don't get the obvious: The reason that there are so few games making use of the capabillity and new features of DirectX 11 is, that most games are multiplatorm games. That means they also have to work on consoles that are SEVEN years old and only support DirectX 9. The reason most of the games are developed for consoles first, instead of vice versa, is beyond me. DICE did it with Battlefield 3 - developed for the platform with the most capabilities (PC) and then ported it "down".

@LoboLoko007 XNA isnt a new API. Its using dx9 internally. And no, the xbox only supports "dx 9.5" which XNA also uses to make xbox development possible.

the programmer is the only one who even remotely knows what he is talking about

[Maholain]

Well you are talking to the person who developed in DirectX... so you are those Microsoft haters who ate up the FUD from your OpenGL buddies, didn't you? Yes, you did.

[labobo]

Too little too late not to mention many games that "support" dx11 doesn't use those features so they are basically a dx9 game

[Renax111]

Then you would appreciate the extra shadows and tessellation one gain from dx11!

[labobo]

[labobo]

it's called hype and PR and you ate it up like to fool you are without verifying, didn't you
