lol... Will SH5 use DX11? I hope it will...

One has to wonder if there will be poorer game performance on my XP Pro, since it's 32 bit and although I have 4gb only 3 is actually used!

It's not on the list of announced games to use DX11, so my guess is: nope.

Hardly anyone has the hardware for it anyway.

Good question.

Something we'll only find out when it's released, I'm afraid.

I have both Win7 64b and Xp 32b installed. Might as well make a performance comparison when the time comes.

And I hope - not.


Serious: SH5 is designed for XP or Vista so will not support DX11 and probably not DX10/10.1 (M$ not supports DX10+ for XP).
3 GB RAM is more than games need today - first: XP is still more popular than others and second: low-advanced next OS (Vista, W7) are 32-bit too - they use only 3.2GB RAM max.

But relax, nowadays the thin throat is power of GPU: you need card with about 500 GFLOPS (with 512MB) efficiency for standard resolution or 1000 GFLOPS (with 1024MB) for HD (I suppose) to play full detal SH5...

where would you get a dx11 card?

theres only a couple out there and those cost a bucketload of money and because of that nobody buys them.

add to that the fact that they are all out of stock because nobody wants them on there shelves taking space away from cards people actually will buy.

im not saying dx11 wont be great but its like having a tv before they invented electricity so what good is it?

Considering how fast they pump out the next level up of GPU, CPU and Buss Speed, I would bet that you would take advantage of DX11 in the next year or two.

I bet the DEVs don't have DX11 cards, but a bunch of people will have DX11. Windows 7

What do you guys think to my rig? Will my CPU cut it (juuust)?

E5200 2.5ghz
9800GT 1gb
4gb Kingston hyperx RAM 800 mhz
ASUS P5SD2-VM mobo

[Task Force]

It should cut the mustard...

But I am saying... like some games, I wonder is sh5 will support DX 9/10/and 11... Ex crysis supports DX9 and 10 but 9 just is missing afiew DX10 effects...

[rsslcs]

Thanks, that's a relief.

And BTW, some games have beenpatched prior to release to enable DX11, maybe that might happen with SH5. I can't see any use for it though.

[Arclight]

DX11 games are in development, and some have already been released. I know DiRT2 uses it, and comes bundled with most of the 5000 series cards.

Nobody buys them? The most powerful single GPU card there is and you think nobody wants them, well think again. They are selling like cupcakes.

Hmmm, I just bought a new rig with an ATi Radeon HD-5970 card.

My bad, I guess....

yes, since i posted that i was bombarded with my mistake, the ATI 5000 series is dx11 but when you have a preference for nvidia and you only look at those cards its easy to make the mistake i made in thinking they werent out yet

i have my eye on a 5770 just in case my card has trouble with sh5 because im not spending over $200 on a card but i think my 8800 will be ok

thats one heck of a nice card you got with it

was it a 2gb? i see they have some of those now too

Prices on those range from €470,- to €617,- over here.

You can buy an average desktop or laptop for 600.

And all of the models available are 2GB.

Yes agreed, over here its around £550 pounds last time i checked, and they had none in stock, like i mentioned in another post going for the 5870, around £330 pounds, perhaps not sure if vapor x series attatched 2gb have to check up more as briefly viewed,as not planning to purchase until march and price drop. But Sir Arclight its crazy i know, the things we do to have a game run smooth near max settings yet at half cards capabilities, and nice temps in case. Its a big leap in card for me, but i see sh5 being a good one. If i hadnt sold my car recently i would not be spending this amount.
