Do you have DX11?

[Sirisian]

Okay I'm curious because of the other thread so I'll make this thread. Do you currently have a DX11 computer or will you have a DX11 computer in 2012? I'm just curious how many Planetside fans are going to take advantage of the option to continue to use their XP based machines. (I could rely on the steam survey, but this is mostly just FPS players so I want a concrete result of specifically Planetside players planning to play Planetside 2).

// Edit I made it public I think so we can see if anyone is really staying with XP and DirectX 9 so we can question their decision. Not sure if public polls even work on this forum system.

We'll have to keep in mind that this poll isn't scientific, but I think it's a good idea to do anyways. I don't have a card with Directx11, yet, but if I do upgrade my computer, it will be for a new GPU.

[Tigersmith]

Yess I do. But I doubt planetside 2 will have it.

Windows 7 with a GTX 460 here.

Windows 7 64 bit pro with Asus Radeon 5850.

Also Win 7 64bit with 1090T/Radeon 5850 here *crossing fingers for multicore optimization *

this question is worded odly, i have DX10 as of now however i plan on upgrading but i dont know when il upgrade the video card as i like to wait for the last moment on the video card to get better deals.

But im going to say DX10 since its what i have now and i prob wont get a new vid card till november.

Also why is XP DX10/11 even on there. XP doesnt support either of them and even if your card does its a mute point.

lol, people are crazy. I had a friend that was using Windows 2000 because he thought XP and Windows 7 sucked. His computer was fast. He just now (like 2 years ago) switched to Windows 7 because some random game he wanted to play didn't work on it.

// edit... wait so there are 2 people that said they're going to use XP and a DX9 card. Can those people explain why? I'm genuinely curious. I tried to make the poll public so no one could just lie.

I do not think there are any cards left that you would upgrade to without DirectX 11 capabilities.. or are there?

there isnt nor was i trying to say they where.

My point was my current card is DX10 and i dont know when il be upgrading so im voting DX10 for now, however i was saying its worded odly to take into effect the future when god knows if youl upgrade or not. Better to just vote on what you currently have.

Q9550, GTX280, Win 7. I do save to upgrade in case i cant run PS2 at full details with that card, but that will be decided during beta.

Well there are people that said they're upgrading their computers in the future so I wanted to take that into account. This is more of a "hey SOE look we all have DX10/11". I was hoping to see everyone using DX11 only by now, but I guess it's still too early to expect that.

Chances are those two that have yet selected win xp and DX9 cant play anyway.

I'd say a large number people wont be on DX11 for a while. As far as computer upgrades go DX11 is a pretty recent development (considering people upgrade every few years).

I'm expecting more people to say that they're running DX9, tbh.
