rumours...

I doubt it. If so I'll try to get a mob together to firebomb nvidia's HQ.


j.k (wish I could)

Not even nvidia are that stupid. Publicity stunt is one thing, only having one overpriced card (one that only about 10000 people will ever buy) play a game is another.

Ignore it, the game will run dx11 on any dx11 card and run well. If tessellation is extensively used badly then amd cards may suffer, but otherwise every dx11 card worth having will blitz the game still

NO I think I can categorically say there is no way Nvidia would do this given they have an overclocked 560ti bundle literally called "Crysis 2 Maximum Graphics Edition".

The whole thing 590/crysis2 was that is would be bundled together

There is a 560ti overclock bundle called "maximum graphics edition" already on the market... Look!

Plus the 470 was the card they ran it on at the Eurogamer last year.

Dude you cant believe everything you read. My GTX 480 support DX11. LOL

It supports DirectX 11. Now answer me: does this mean it has sufficient power to play every game on the planet? Obviously not. That's the reason I don't care for DirectX 11 support. DirectX 11, excluding tessellation, is not that giant leap forward compared to DirectX 9/10. Still it has the potential to kill the performance without giving back any tangible results. So, I consider this crusade for DirectX 11 complete stupidity. And while people make all possible efforts to be stupid, I'm enjoying a game that can be played NOW, not in three years like the first Crysis.

Crysis 2 has amazing graphics, impressive performance and it does the thing it is supposed to do: it let you play NOW. For me it's enough.

I doubt its true but if it is i will never buy a nvidia product again. I mean i bought the 580 gtx like a month ago so that would svck.

Um I think your confused.... A lot of the development work on the Dx11 API was to increase the libraries and iprove render paths over Dx10. Yes there are only a few new features, but the way the API works your hardware is WAY more efficient then Dx10. Also Dx10 only provided a couple of features and they were all doable in Dx9, just with more resource overhead.

Dx11 might further optimize this game. And yes they could include "hardware" tesselation support, please not that "Tesselation is a Dx9C feature done via software, and first marketed in the UE3 engine demo. This was a process to counter the performance issues with Z-Correct Bump/normal mapping. And lower the overhead on Vertex Shaders.

Holy f*ck, that better just be a rumor... If it turns out to be true, I am putting my copy of Crysis 2 through a paper shredder.

I'll even record it, and put it on youtube.

The graphics are decent but they told us that the e3 3d trailer was realtime pc footage wich i believe could only be achieved with dx 11:

I think its nice that they optimised the game so much for people who dont have high end rigs but where the **** are the graphics they promised us??????

Business is a funny thing, that's for sure...

Where I work at, our capitalist overlords are always saying how they don't have enough money to hire more people, so each and every one of us end up doing the work of two people. Yet, they are somehow able to remodel part of the building (half a million dollars it cost), and buy brand new computers for the entire administrative staff, when the computers they had before were just fine.

That **** is way over my head, but it seems the way business goes these days... No love for the people who make money for the company, all they care about is their revenue, and lavish squandering.

i doubt it considering 590s around the world are currently blowing up.
plus id imagine theyed be breaking some kind of consumer law or whatever.
