Since Crysis 2 requires an 8800GT or HD 3850 (both DX 10 cards) to play I was curious to see what Direct X version people use. Direct X 9 is included since maybe not everyone on the forums can actually play Crysis 2, but are on the forums to learn more about Crysis 2, or perhaps troll. Direct X 9 with multiple options is included for gamers still using Windows XP, but have a card that could do DX 10 or 11 with a newer version of Windows.

It might be interesting for developers to know what the breakdown of hardware is among "hardcoe" PC gamers.

If you feel like it you can also post your specs as well.

SPECS:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP 1
Q6600 @ 3.2ghz
4GB ram
580GTX

EDIT:
Also as a note don't let this turn into a "WTF Crysis 2 is only DX 9 FFFFUUUUU!" thread as there are plenty already on the PC board.

EDIT:
Renamed poll to "What direct X version do you have?" so that people don't think the question is what DX version are you running Crysis 2 with. Also enabled it so people can re-vote if they misunderstood the poll.

Well.. I have 2x MSI GTX560-ti Twin Frozr II SLI and I still have to use DX9 in C2.

MSI HD5770 HAWK TwinFrozer which is a Dx 11 card but i still have to use Dx9 in Crysis 2.

Why?


C2D E6550 @ 2,9 Ghz (will be replaced next month for a Quad Core)
4 Gigs Corsair XMS 2 @ DDR-800
MSI HD5770 Hawk Twin Frozer
Windows 7 home Premium 64bit

main post edited so that this doesn't devolve into the standard bitter board that occurs when DX 11 is brought up. Everyone knows that it is using DX 9 only at the moment and complaining about it on almost a third of the posts is not going to make things happen any faster.

Core i7 2600 @ 3.9-4.2 GHz
8GB Corsair XMS3 1333MHz
MSi GTX580 OC edition
Win 7 Pro 64bits

Running C2 maxxed out (in the system.cfg file as well) at 90+ fps (1680x1050)

Wow

4% DX9
11% DX10
everybody has a DX11 gpu.

WTF Crysis 2 is only DX 9 FFFFUUUUU!

wait, not? ahw

my specs:

Tregan is playing Crysis 2 on

AMD Phemon II X6 1055T 3,5GHz
Sapphire Radeon HD6850
GeIl 4GB DDR3
MSI 870A-G54

OCZ Vertex 2 80GB
2x Samsung 500GB HD502HJ
Aerocool Vx-R LE case

Razer Megalodon headset
Logitech G15 keyboard

I use an Ati 4890 which is DX10.1, so I cannot use DX11 only features, but can use the backwardly compatible benefits of DX11.

How to change to DX11? my card is MSI GTX 560 Twin Frozr II

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition, nVidia nForce 590 SLI, 2x GeForce 8800GT 512MB, 8GB OCZ DDR2-800 SLI Edition, Samsung F1 1TB, Be-Quiet Straight Power 700 Watt, Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.

So that makes me limited to being able to running DX10 because of the cards...

@Sam, try reading the Whole Topic Starters Post, There is no DX10 or DX11 (yet, but its supost to be added with patch, including 64 bit suport)

This poll is just to figure out what peoples hardware supports. You can not change to DX 11 in Crysis 2 currently.

Cooler Master HAF
Core i7 980X (six cores) 3.40GHz
Asus P6T Deluxe V2
ATI 5870 x2 vapor-x
6GB Corsair 1600 9-9-9-24

If commitment cards than I do not have many problems but if you disable a flicker bene.Comunque it runs fine without intoppi.Ma pach released or not famous or not?

DX9, and even if my card is capable of DX10 I'm playing on WinXP.

What sort of question are u trying to ask?>.< doesn't ur salesman told u that ur gpu is dx11 supported?=___=

Yes, DX9 is old. But the graphics are incredible (in my opinion).

DX11

2x GTX460 SOC
I5 2500K
Corsair Vengeance 8GB

Well at the moment only 1x 460 because 1 died so its on it way back to the shop.

DirectX11 as well. Two Evga hydro copper 580's. Good stuff =D

AMD Radeon HD6950 (Flashed to a 6970) It's a beast of a card for the price. even though it overheats if I don't put the fan speed on high as I don't have a case fan blowing air onto the card yet, because Royal Mail delivery is absolute **** bollocks and has lost the fans I paid good money to order for my new PC. I have to wait like 10 more **** days before I can claim against those useless ****.

Haha good answer mate.

My setup.below

I was fairly surprised that someone with a DX 9 only card posted so quickly.

dx 11
i7 3.8
6 gigs
gtx 480

bump

I upgraded my rig in anticipation for Crysis 2, as I did for Crysis 1.

All brand new in the past 3 weeks:

- Core i7 2600K
- MSI P67A-GD65 B3 Stepping Motherboard
- MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr Nvidia DIRECTX 11
- 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
- Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Chip Cooler

I hope Crytek, AND Nvidia, and even ATI are watching these boards. These games sell there cards, and the cards sell their games. If the games don't push the new hardware, then the sales of the new hardware will eventually suffer.

BTW, while Crysis 2 isn't pushing this hardware, Crysis 1 looks and plays FAST now!

Got a MSI GTX 460 HAWk 1GB , DX11
