Tessellation REQUIRES DX11!
So first we have to roll out a dx11 client...
Working on it... but we need more dx11-capable customers... and that would be you... |

Don't get me wrong, I am a graphics programmer, I love everything new. But statistics show that only ~50% of the players run dx11-ready systems. So we don't want to shut them out for this |

Aha! So everyone who wants tessellation: put a bounty on this guy!   |

Moonaura wrote:So basically CCP, you trolled us.  Many games are coming out non XP in the next year. Really, this is the last year of XP. And no, you can't point at a concrete block and say, that is why, and say its pointless, when your own freaking demo at fanfest showed exactly why it wasn't pointless. Remember the crowd cheering for it? Remember people saying they wanted it? Right now the capitals look awful. I'm sure they might get improved at some point, but at this size, detail makes things look bigger than they actually are. Making stuff just larger with bad textures doesn't make them really feel all that big frankly. They are just filling more screen real estate.
I agree: the capitals DO look awful. Trust me, the V3-project will make them them look a lot better... (release: around summer 2013)
But: dx11 doesn't make something "just look better", you have to use dx11 features! And that takes dev time...

Is it overkill? Yup.
Seems about right in my eyes for a new machine. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Nice rig though 
Just a random dude in Team Security. |
