I'm talking about DirectX 11. I know it will give the Devs a whole slew of new options and ways to change the game, but why upgrade when a good chunk of the players of this game would have to spend 300-400$ to get a new card to at least run the game smoothly. I have an Nvidia GTX gforce 285. This card runs the game beautifully, and does almost everything that the more expensive nvidia cards can do, besides directx 11 and a little bit more memory. I just really don't want to end up needing to shell out a couple hundred on a new card for a game that already runs perfectly fine.

I think directx 11 is an option you can chose like in many other games. So nothing will change for you.

You don't have to sped $300-$400 for a DirectX 11 card. I found an ATI Radeon HD 7750 for $89.00 at Newegg.

People, they think decent computing hardware is expensive, THEY ARE WRONG.

Depends on where you live. Here in Europe, where I live, it would be at least 2x times more expensive. Also I have Gtx 560 and the game still runs like ****. No difference low or high settings.

I have gtx 460 and I wish they would introduce dx11 some time soon, it wil bring more optimization (hopefuly)
Right now, after latest patch and hotfix, I have the same situation, where there is only 15 fps difference between low and high

I used to run a 460 and it ran just fine, now I'm running a 660 and it's still smooth.

Maybe it's the processor (AMD A6-3650)?

Yeah, I'm on an Intel i5

To answer your question they have downgraded the graphics for performance reasons. Dam shame too. It went from closed Beta graphics which were beautiful to cartoon graphics now. There was a post saying DX11 would support better graphics down the line. We will see....

Lets hope so graphic we see are out dated really miss the direct x 11 graphics is there a vote pole to get them restored ?

I'm hoping they put this in sooner rather than later. I saw some of the footage from CB when they were still running it and was gobsmacked. I have a brand-spanking (<2months) 670 that is champing at the bit to get it's hands on those graphics.
