The GTX 590 launches and on Nvidia's own website is a list of games. Games that are supposed to take full advantage of the card. Guess what game is on top. Crysis 2! I find that alarming for two reasons. First Crysis 2 has ZERO support for DX11 which is one of Nvidia's big claims. Secondly the card is dual GPU which means it is always running sli on the board itself. At the moment there are score of threads and posts of owners who cannot not get proper SLI results with two single GPU cards let alone a single dual GPU card. My question Crytek why did you screw over the entire PC community? And users don't tell me no one can afford DX11 because if that was the case companies wouldn't even have cards that sell for over $700 dollars. Or even over $400. DX11 is here and in the consumers hands now give us something to do with it.

DX11 was simply not ready for launch. Shogun 2 is also having DX11 added later via patch cause it just simply wasn't ready.

DX11 is all confirmed for a later patch from my gatherings around the web.

Did Shogun 2 brag and promise DX11? Don't try and deny graphically crysis 2 is a step down from crysis and warhead as well. Shogun 2 also isn't a port so they didn't get screwed on every other angle. And I haven't played but I'm even gonna guess Shogun 2 doesn't have " high, very high, and extreme" for a settings menu

Don't get me wrong here, I want DX11 support and am annoyed that it isn't available in Crysis 2 yet. However, did crytek actually ever say "Crysis 2 will launch with dx11 support"? All I know about the matter is that nvidia payed crytek 2million dollars presumably to take advantage of tessellation, etc so that their benchmark cards (580, 590) would actually be useful. Nvidia put the name Crysis 2 up on the list of games supporting dx11 immediately after the deal. There are very few game development companies that can release a game whenever they damn well please(aka Blizzard and uh...Blizzard). It seems reasonable to me that nvidia paid crytek 2million dollars to tailor the engine to DX11 yet crytek was also bound beforehand by their affiliation with EA. EA setting a deadline on the game's release would trump any agreement made with nvidia. So, crytek was contractually bound to release crysis 2 when they did and are also contractually bound to support dx11. dx11 wasn't ready yet, so it'll be supported after a patch.

End result?

EA is unhappy because crytek couldn't deliver dx 11 for the pc gamers in time for launch, which hurts reputation and longterm sales
Nvidia is unhappy because they paid 2million dollars and dont have what they paid for yet
Crytek is unhappy because their team couldn't deliver what was needed in time
Crytek employees are unhappy because everyone is pissed at them for creating a kickass game(what?)
hardcoe pc fans are unhappy because they bought a video card they can't afford because it had a bigger number than the previous card they owned and it isn't being useful yet.

Considering shogun II is having the same issue with dx11..perhaps we should be asking ourselves...what exactly is it about dx11 that is making it so damned slow to incorporate among game developers?

ok get this i am NOT i repeat NOT in ANY way a fan boy yo either amd or nvidia. if you want un-biased review of the 6990 in crossfire and the new gtx 590 in quad sli go to guru3d.com they jus released a new article showing what the gtx 590 in quad caqn do and if you look in the articles to the right they have a article showing what 6990 does in crossfire x. the 6990 absolutely demolishes the gtx 590 in most areas! dx 10 or 11.i think this is just about the rifst time this has ever happened becuase "usually" the ati dual gpu is released and is truly awesome then about 3 weeks later the nvidia comes out and smokes the ati. not this time around the 6990 actually smokes the 590 in most all tests! im wondering due to nvidia ads and p.r. if they will still be labeled "fastest graphics card in the world"? truth be know i sure hope not cause according to guru3d the 6990 is honestly faster and always seems to beat out the new 590.

I concur.

TOP SECRET BY NVIDIA:
Play crysis in dx9 hahahahaha
but not funny..

F1 2010 PC had dx11 later in a patch. But, imho, there was no super wow factor with dx 11 enabled.

Dude, are you lost? Or do you just post random stuff in other peoples threads? Everyone knows it takes a lil while to make new drivers to utilize the new cards power. Comparisons don't hold much weight untill the cards have been out a couple months.

To the OP, Crytek isn't making nvidia liers. The previous post about contracts and deadlines sounds correct. I can't think of any recent games that have been perfect on release date. Just give it some time. Trust me, I want all the eyecandy as much as the next guy does. I just hope it won't take a very long time to all get incorporated.

this,

but all we need now is a damn RELEASE DATE for dx11 patch...

Nothing is confirmed about DX11. Crytek never released an official statement saying DX11 will be added by patch. All the stuff about DX11 being released by a patch all over the web is based off a statement a Crytek dev made suggesting the patch idea. Nothing has been confirmed.

Further more, there is NO footage of Crysis 2 in DX11 anywhere. No official footage, no fan footage, nothing. Additionally, there's nothing that I've been able to find that shows the CRYENGINE 3 using DX10 or DX11.

I'm under the strong suspicion that the CRYENGINE 3 doesn't even support DX10 or DX11.

Dat is true, crysis will never bee dx11 dx10 game..

MAXSIMUM CONSOLE

It's the silence from Crytek which causes these floods of complaints. I wish they would open up.

I don't think we do need to ask that because it never happened with AVP, Hawx 2, Metro 2033, Stalker, Lost Planet 2 etc,etc,etc...
Yeah and Sega had at least already announced that before the game was released.

THE QUESTION REMAINS WHY HAVE THEY MISJUDGED THE IMPORTANCE OF DX11

DX11 was removed as a feature of cryengine 3 from their website. Don't hold your breath for the magic port. Just remember next time crytek starts bragging about their next game that its a lie and move on to something better

Them not including DX11 at launch gives us an excuse to play Single Player again once the patch comes out.

C'mon guys, look at the bright side, like me!

(SP's not visually sixy like Crysis was, but maybe that's because when Crysis came out, all the other games looked like ****, but now, all the games look like Crysis?)
