So I updated crysis 2 to 1.9, downloaded the two extra updates for directx11, and i launch the game and try to Enable directx11, no cigar. It's greyed out for some reason. While the game was running (i forgot to close it at the time) i installed the updates for directx11, would that cause it to screw up?. I want to ask before i try to do it the right way of not having crysis 2 running during the patch installations. Thanks in advance.

spider what card are you runing and i can tell you if it directx 11 compatable. but if you cant run directx 11 you can use the high rez pack still. those are both optional for gamers. they are not needed. unless you want to see everything this game has to offer.

32bit can't run it.

ya they moved it to native 64-bit. but it does say something about system ram in the high rez pack. but for directx 11. it says only a directx 11 compatable card.

so i would say to this guy dont upgrade to this add-on. unless your in 64-bit windows.

I have a EVGA Geforce GTX 260, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Amd Phenom II X6 1100T (3.3ghz) and 16GB's RAM, let me know what you guys think and thanks for the help so far.

ya that card is fine for directx 9.0c mode you have the right ram and cpu. use the high rez pack only. and you can see the high textures from the directx 9.0 side. your card is fine. but if you want to use directx 11 full support. then go to the gtx 560 card which is the high end brother for the GTX 260 card. or even the GTX 460 card. both of them are 1 gddr5. the cuda cores are the same for both 460 and 560. the only differents is the core gpu clock for the 560 is higher then the 460 its only at 675 and the 560 is at 915. the memery bandwith for the 560 is higher then the 460 it only does, 3600 to the 560, 4100.

i hope that was not to techical. was trying to keep it easy as possiable. and both of those cards run only at 450W and need 2 6x6 pin connectors.

can i tell you i am jealious of you having a GTX 260 card. thats the card i have been wanting all this time. i could care less for my GTX 460 card. that card has 2GB of GDDR3 right? or is it the 1gddr3 card model.

here man if you want to go with the 400 series card. here a good one but make sure you can run this card it needs a 700w psu as the mininal i been looking at this card for a while.
