I see in graphics advanced option there is default selected DX9. Are there plans to upgrade the game into DX10/DX11 ?

You might want to use the forum search.

Last time I heard of DX10 and 11 in MWO, they were pretty broke and working at a wallmart. Dunno, they are waiting to get rehabilitated in short. Dunno, PGI is gonna give em a job as soon as those two are actually doing what they are told and working correctly.

Upgrade will be happening soon!

Sadly it's not even on the roadmap anymore.

Of course, that really doesn't mean anything with PGI. At some point ™ we're supposed to get DX11.

Why would it have DX10 if DX11 is not only superior but more efficient in every possible way?

because some folks have DX10.x cards and not newer DX11 capable

i think this game deservers DX11 full mode.

Last I checked it was on the road map for an optimistic 2 or 3 weeks from now. Regardless, there's a dev post addressing it in the 'into the lab' thread.

EDIT:
it seems to have disappeared from the roadmap (I'm guessing it's relegated to the 'super-secret stuff' for some reason) but the into the lab thread clarifies it a bit.

From the 'into the lab' thread:

After integrating CryEngine 3.4 we noted a number of issues with the DX11 implementation that we didn’t feel were acceptable to push out to production. We have worked with our partners to address the key issues, these
have now been resolved and we are enabling DX11 internally for testing. Once it passes QA it will be enabled on production, we appreciate the fans patience while we work to ensure the DX11 renderer is just as stable as the DX9 renderer.

Then they're better off with DX9 honestly, DX10 was fairly bad.
