so, cp can tell, adn it would be easy for a client to pull, what form of DX a computer is running.
how about our version of DX is displayed in our character sheet, tht way the playerbase can help "persuade" those not on 11 to upgrade, this provides an incentive for the playerbase (since most ahve stated without reason they will NOT upgreade) to upgrade, while not FORCING them, guaranteee after 6 motnhs well have ebnough DX11 users to justify upgrading EVE.

CCP ahs stated the reason they wotn upgrade to DX11 is because they dotn want to keep the ones who havent upgreaded from playing.
all this would do is give them a reason to upgrade, without forcing them too, they can still play as normal, just occasional DX11 zealots would maybe try and wardec/gank them to "persuade" an upgrade. |

DX11 has been out since 2008. If your computer is that old and not DX11 capable then you need to upgrade badly. Your computer is 5 years behind the times. That's an antique piece of junk! But DX11 games are backwards compatible anyways. Still pretty sad. |

Forget what game that is about... the point is actually a direct comparison in performance between DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 What is more important here is LOOK at the cards being tested, the Radeon HD 4000-Series and GeForce 200/400-Series are 5 YEAR OLD cards, we're not talking brand new hardware.
I would also point out you can get an AMD APU Quad-Core 64-bit DirectX 11 w/8GB Memory for ~-ú200, we're talking the same price as an Xbox 360 or PS3.... yet has the performance to basically run pretty much anything released today at 1080p on Ultra settings - except possible Crysis 3, but Crytek games have always required super computers to run well. |

I'm going to guess your an xp user who doesnt like change, and thinks that games should never be upgraded to their betternment if it means you have to spend a few extra dollars to keep playing.
seriously, XP is dead, people need to upgrade, if games always catered to the lowest tech-level in use, we'd all still be playing pong, but pong is dead, because progress happened.
i mean geeze, its already been stated that a dx11 comp is cheap, and its not like moving to dx11 wold be ccp "needlesly rushing to some shiny new technology". dx11 is OLD AS DIRT, which makes XP/dx9 practically paleolithic. |

You're a very trusting person, aren't you?
Every game that uses DX11 have it, or even DX10, as optional. It's not shader module 2.0 or 3.0 that requires different rendering, DX11 is just a few scattered effects. The only reason CCP is unwilling to give us it is due to laziness. They would rather pour resources into Dust or anything other than Eve.

The problem with the upgrade to DX 11 is not a few optional visual effects. It's that the reason CCP are considering upgrading to DX-11 is Tesselation and the combination of Tesselations built in collision detection engine with the EVE Physics engine. So at the point they upgrade the Physics engine to be reliant on the DX-11 client, then they CAN NOT BE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. Because the simple presence of your ship in space requires DX-11 at that point to interact with other ships & objects.
So if you care about the crazy bounding spheres, & lack of logic of the fact gunfire goes straight through other ships on the way to your target. Then upgrade to DX-11.
For the record, I have no idea if the laptop I play on is DX-11 compatable. I kinda assume it is. But if it isn't, I'd upgrade just for the Tesselation change to the physics engine, because I hate the bounding spheres that much. |

Some people have to wait til their current setup dies because "eye candy" simply isn't an excuse. Wifey would rather you spend that 40 taking her out to dinner than allow you to "upgrade" your addiction that takes you away from her.

No need to "Justify it" when you can just onpurpose/accidentally kill the machine, and voila, new DX11 machine, and probably even X64 bit (which is actually EVEN more important then Dx11, due to x86 being only able to use 2 to 3.4Gb of your now quite usually seen 8GB)
But yeah it is easy to kill a machine without a none tech savy spouse or family to even know it was you who killed the thing. |

ITT, there are lots of people who have no idea what they are talking about. If you want a better graphics ask for better graphics and not DX11 because:
1) Just switching from DX9 to DX11 won't make a miracle like some (clueless) people think 2) There is literally an ocean of unrealised possibilities for EVE within DX9 |

Warning: The following post may (unintentionally) read as extremely offensive/insulting to those of a sensitive nature.
"My machine can run DX11 but my OS can't": You'll have to get a new OS. Yours is ancient anyway. Windows XP and Windows Vista are not "just fine" and if you're using them, they need to be replaced. Windows 7 is amazing compared to all other versions of Windows and is less than the price of a new graphics card. Macs can dual-boot MacOS and Windows 7. If you're running Linux, then that's a different matter entirely and one you probably have the technical competency to solve.
"My machine can't run DX11, why should I buy a new one": Unless you're running a laptop (and shame on you for trying to game on a laptop) you can easily upgrade the video card (not the whole machine) to something DX11-capable and voila, you now have a DX11-capable machine!
"How do I explain to the family/spouse": Are you employed? Are you paid for the work you do? Are you a legal adult? Are you married to someone other than your parent (or someone who thinks they are)? If the answer to these questions is "Yes", then your spouse should be mature enough and reasonable enough to understand that EVE is your hobby. Even if they don't like it, you could have worse hobbies - like pornography or drugs or collecting antique teapots. If your spouse is not mature enough to accept you spending money to pursue a hobby that costs money in the first place (or if you don't have sufficient income to upgrade your hardware) then perhaps you have other things to worry about before a DX11 upgrade to EVE.
"Not allowed to upgrade": Move out of your parents' house. Then you'll be allowed to do whatever you want (within the limits of the law, of course). If you're already out of said house but the "not allowed" is from a spouse, then I feel bad for you. Unless you're unemployed and your spouse is making 100% of the household money, you're a grown adult and have the right to upgrade your computer anyway. |

No. YOU should be mature enough to mind your own business. What kind of relationship I have with my wife its my concern. I don't give a crap over you opinion about it so keep it to yourself. (Actually no hard feeling, just a natural response.Your post "may (unintentionally) read as extremely offensive/insulting to those of a sensitive nature" )
