Crytek hates DX10.1??

[Phenium 4 FX]

“We pride ourselves on being the first to adopt any important new technology that can improve our games so you would expect us to get with DX10.1 right away but we’ve looked at it and there’s just nothing in it important enough to make it needed. So we have no plans to use it at all, not even in the future.” - Cevat Yerli, Crytek CEO

Do you know anyone running Crysis at 4xAA?
I think not..maybe a few sli boys..Crysis is a killer on fps.
DX10.1 means that hardware must support 4xAA..and it's mandatory for all games..it'll be a year before any card will properly run this on Crysis.
They will bring it in though..one of the key features for DX10.1 which is not very well known is the shader drawing. It's going to result in a massive boost to drawing graphics as you'll only draw the overlay one and not discard it after use..at present it's being drawn upto 5 times which is a drain on graphics.
DX10.1 will be a big hit once the hardware catches up to what the software companies can do with it.

I don't think DX10.1 will be hype. Some of it is alright but the part I mentioned above is going to have a big impact on graphics once developers start implementing it.These features would have been in from the start if Nvidia had got their act together. They however couldn't implement the above features of DX10.1 in time and so MS dropped these features and basically released plain old dx10.0.
The pity is ATI were able to implement these features as their programmers were upto the task but MS played ball with Nvidia and basically screwed ATI.

...and those of the dx10.0 hype.

hahaha! we are all victims! :lol: :lol: :lol:

DX10.1 hardware is useless at the moment unless the games will utilize this before Nvidia & Ati(i hope ATI can) release their new hardware with more feature than this.
(I think this must be in the Vid card section..)

i dont know whats going on with 10.1, but forcing 4xAA (if that's what dx10.1 is all about) seems like its gonna suck for amd, don't their newest cards do terribly worse when AA is on? (or did they fix this with the hd3 series or a driver?)

For those that don't know, as long as you keep Post Processing on (I believe) you will get a special edge smoothing effect in the form of "Edge AA" that blurs the leaves and smooths the edges for very little performance impact, this is disabled when AA is turned on though, and for some reason normal AA does not smooth the edges of leaves like Edge AA does.

eg being Crysis.
