With all of the talk about Dragon age 2's graphics I am curious to know if it will support DX 11. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks

[Niten Ryu]

No.



Consoles are stuck with DirectX 9 quality and there's no point to waste development time to create better graphics (and graphical feautres) for the PC version only. We're probably stuck with 2005 tech untill 2015 or something like that.

Ugh, its a little ridiculous that consoles are holding us back so much.

That's just silly. While it's true that DX11 is not an available API on either HD console(OpenGL is the only 3D API available on PS3, btw), its benefits are easily enabled or disabled. That's like saying tessellation or subdivision surfaces wouldn't be an available feature to high end rigs because XP-running rigs wouldn't be able to run it!



The few benefits that DX11 allow for aren't difficult to implement and could easily be disabled-- that's the nature of those features, otherwise games with DX11 features would only be compatible with the Windows 7 install base. Which isn't true, those features can just be disabled for those who haven't upgraded yet.



Anyway, the jury's still out, there's no official word on tech specs, but we can't say the inclusion of DX11 features(or lack thereof) is based off of console compatibility. Crysis 2, for example, will undoubtedly include such features on the PC version, even while the console versions don't.

I would like to utilize the DX 11 on my 5750...

I doubt it will. Bioware never really has been big on pushing graphics. There are studios out there that are interested in using DX11 in their future games but I doubt BioWare is one of them.



And as far as consoles holding PC hardware back. Well that's partly true but then again if you look at some comparison vids/screenshots between DAO on consoles and PC you will see how much better the PC version looks so it's not like they don't improve the visuals at all.

Don't bother, you wouldn't get a good frame rate with it turned on. If you don't believe me, try running a UniEngine Heaven 2 benchmark.

Oh, no, not at all. If you've been sticking with modern PC stuff, even just a little, you're likely far beyond a console's computing power.

Also, if you want to take advantage of DX11, then play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat. All of that DX11 goodness in a FPS/RPG bun.

really? Haven't played that yet so I wouldn't know.

Those Russians, though! Far ahead of like, every single other game on the PC right now.
Or at least games set in the Soviet Bloc countries... hah.

Consoles run Metro 2033. Not as great but they can still run it. Also STALKER is god tier.

True, true.

I'd still want to see what it would look like.

If crytek, dice and several other companies can develop DX11 for PC, i dont see why bioware can't.

Those companies are much more focused on graphics than story/characters because the FPS genre is much more focused on explosions-per-minute.

[StingingVelvet]

DX11 worked really well in AVP... the shadows and AA did a lot for the game. I do hope more and more companies use the DX11 features, but as said it is a low priority because of consoles AND older hardware still being used on the PC.



Remember, many PC exclusives like The Old Republic have WORSE graphics than consoles because they want everyone with a gaming PC to be able to run it. We are held back by slow to upgrade PC gamers as much as we are consoles.

You can't call those older PCs 'gaming PCs' anymore if they can't even outperform a console.

DirectX 11 would be a poor decision since it would narrow the potential PC consumer base quite a bit.

You should take a look at FFXIV or Two worlds 2 then... they aren't DX11, they're RPG's and they have incredible graphics.

It wouldn't be DX11 exclusive, you realize? And Steam surveys already show considerable growth in both Win7 and DX11 adoption.

What does that have to do with anything? I never claimed RPGs can't look good.
FF14's an MMO so it doesn't count. And after the atrocious first Two Worlds, the jury's still out on the sequel.

The key here is...



If DA2 supports DX11 then that doesn't mean it is DX11 exclusive.

[Cython]

Dragon Age 2 will support to DirectX 11
so you should have either nVidia Fermi 4xx ,5xx
Good for people who have got DirectX 11 Card like me
I have got a GTX 580 I think that's enough to Play Dragon Age 2 with Max Settings

I think Developers should made Dragon Age 2 DirectX 11 Exclusive and High End gaming PC demanding that's the only way to thrown away amateur gamers away.

Tomorrow is the DirecX 11 exclusive days so update your PCs pals.!!! once Microsoft release a new console and Sony also gets down to their console obviously no one can't stop the journey.
stupid Wii players don't want to play with us.
