from ign



Crysis 2 on PC does not include DirectX 11 support (right now).
This is a big one, and something I know will disappoint many of you hardcoe PC enthusiasts out there. A few weeks ago, rumors whispered that a post-release patch would introduce DirectX 11 support to Crysis 2, and during GDC, Crysis 2 Producer Nathan Camarillo told us to expect more information "soon." There hasn't been an update since then, and Nvidia's Crysis 2 page has removed any mention of DirectX 11 support.

To be completely honest, we've never seen Crysis 2 in DirectX11, to my knowledge. Or, if we did, it didn't look appreciably different from the DirectX 9 version of the game shipping to retail and launching on services like Direct2Drive and Steam.

Why this matters: Crysis (the first) was one of the first DirectX 10 capable PC games to market in 2007, and has existed as a system crushing benchmark tool to this day. The running joke is "Can it run Crysis?" It's still giving capable systems palpitations. DirectX 11 introduces a number of upgrades to DirectX 9, including tesselation and multithreaded rendering (which helps ensure that your video card is being fed enough information via the CPU to keep it busy).

Why this might not be a big deal: Crysis 2 looks phenomenal. Yes, I would be happier if it shipped with DirectX 11, especially considering the money I've dumped into my Core i7 system at home in the last few months to get ready for Crysis 2. But in DirectX 9.0c, Crysis 2 is in the running for best looking PC game around, including games that are much smaller in scope, such as Metro 2033.

DX11 would be nice, sure. But I think at this point we all just want our codes to be working lol. Crytek never promised DX11 at launch, and if it that big of a deal to you, just wait until the DX11 patch. Then play.
