What sort of things are you guys doing  with DX11? Tesselation, compute shaders? I know it says the recommended DX11 card is a 5850, but performance wise, is something like 5770 not enough for whatever DX11 is doing?

Looking forward to hearing more about DX11:wizard:

Without going into too many details (this is work in progress and we won't promise features until we've completed our research), we're looking to take advantage of both tessellation and compute shader support on DirectX 11 for specific applications in the game. Don't expect all objects in the world to be tessellated on DX11, as our base mesh density is high enough to begin with (so that the objects can look good on all platforms). However there are a few specific cases like terrain where tessellation can make a quite visible improvement.

The game will have various configurable detail settings and you should be able to tweak the settings on your system to find a good balance between DX11 features and performance.

The game will support Windows 7 32 bit edition. We'll be reworking the requirements text to remove this confusion. All versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 will be supported.

Great to read things are cleared up. Now I can gladly preorder the Signature Edition without more doubts other than my G-Card being possibly low end requirement (GeForce 8600m GT 256MB).

Like with all mobile cards, all we say is "the game may work with them but they're not officially supported". The reason is that we can't test all notebook GPU/driver combinations that are out there. From what I heard DA:O ran well on most such systems, but we still can't guarantee DA2 will support all of them. For what it's worth the current version of DA2 works on my mobile 9300M.

Will it support DX10.1?

Seconded. Will those of us with DX10 capable cards be able to use it or is it either DX9 or 11? 

Yes, you will be able to use the DirectX 11 renderer with DirectX 10 or 10.1 hardware. DirectX 11 is backwards compatible with DX10 hardware. Obviously some of the very high end features that require DX11 hardware will be disabled, but if you have a DX10 card running DA2 with the DirectX 11 renderer selected it will give you the option to turn on more visual features than DX9 has available.

I don't think my laptop vostro 1500 will handle it...

How smooth and what are the graphical settings?

If it is the 8600M GT version with an okay processor, it should.

Mine, Acer 6920 with  9500M GS, worked middle-ground, I always found it odd how Mass Effect 2 (which at least seems to be a more graphically intense (I dunno about behind the scenes stuff)) ran better on my laptop (at max graphics) while DA:O did not. 

Oh and thanks for clearing up about Windows 32.

My laptop config is:
core 2 duo 2.2ghz
2gb ram
geForce 8400M GS 256 MB,

I think is a NO for me this time.
But I was planning to get the PS3 version anyway

Thankz for teh info guys

Will DA2 have more detailed graphics settings than Origins? Like how Origins just had "graphics settings," "texture quality," "Antialiasing" and "Frame Buffer effects", would it be possible to have those sort of broken down more to have like shadow quality, shader quality, volumetric effects, water quality, motion blur- basically just more detailed settings? Tweaking the settings is half the fun!

Thanks for the response!

Probably a good idea, you might run it at a low res low setting, but why do that when you have a console can do the equivalent of mid/high.

I think that the consoles' popularity are starting to turn into a good thing for PC games, they have not managed to kill off PC gaming like so many people predicted, and developers are limited by the hardware of the PS3 and Xbox360.

PC games have not risen significantly in requirements in quite a while, an 8600m GT is a mid range mobile GPU three years old by now, yet it can still run most new games at  medium like it could at first - same for 8800GT still capable of running almost any game at high/ultra.

Hell, the requirements for DA2 are almost a mirror from DA:O, same for ME->ME2.

I hope that it will take a few years for the current consoles to be replaced (with the new add-ons, it looks like it might) - that way my "new" laptop with an i5 and mobility HD5650 can handle games for at least those few years.

Sweet, thanks! I hope my DX10.1 GPU can handle the game smoothly...

These are my specs:

RAM- 4GB DDR3

Graphics- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450 Graphics 512MB

AMD Phenom II X2 Processor N620 2.8 GHz 1.8 GHz HT 2 MB

Hard Drive-320GB



I think it will run ok

[Absafraginlootly]

sigh* I wish I could remotely read this stuff, would make these system spec announcements for games so much more useful. With numbered stuff it's not so bad, if your number is lower then thats not good but with the named stuff how do I know what is higher and what is lower?



Still, if it turns out not to function on my computer I can always install it on one of the new fancy smancy family computers, won't be able to play as often but at least they are new enough that I'm sure it will work.

[ToJKa1]

Well, just upgraded my system, this'll do fine:



Core2Quad Q8400 @2.66GHz

4GB DDR2 800 Ram

Geforce GTS450 1GB



A little stuttering shouldn't hurt, so full DX11 settings it is!

[Yenkaz]

Casualjoker: that graphics card it abysmal compared to the other specs, you will probably be limited to low settings.

[Mike_Ultimate_Edittion]

Oh great a tacked on DX11 on an ugly ass game to drag preformance down to 15 fps, don't bother making the textures better or anything, so it doesn't look better than a korean F2P mmo.

[Quercus]

Hmm, I think I'll do ok.

i7 960 Quad-core 3.2 GB
Ati Radeon HD 5970
6GB  RAM
Windows 7 64

Yeh its not too great I would at least like o be able to play on mid im not expecting high settings, but ill see when I get the game

[BallaZs]

I don't know my PC's specifics, but I hope it'll run it

[BurtonSD]

Just ordered my gtx 460 yesterday, can't wait!

[SteveGarbage]

Ewwww this could be dicey ...

I know I already won something in the 12 Days of Christmas, but I'll still gladly take a new PC if you want to go ahead and pick my name again, heh.

[Apophis2412]

Cany anyone help? Will the following specs do?


Geforce GT 320 1024 Ram
IntelCore i5 CPU 2.67 GHZ
4 GB Ram

I know I have enough Ram, but I can't find benchmarks for my Geforce anywhere.

[Yenkaz]

Apophis: is that a notebook gt320 or a desktop?



The desktop version would perform okay just don't expect more than mid-ish settings.



The notebook version would struggle to run the game, and you would be forced to run low settings.
