Bad enough with incarna I got booted due to system requirements. Fanfest speakers are showing these great graphics previews & asking the crowd if they want these things & of course they applaud but am I going to have to get a new mother @#$%^!!! computer every year to keep up with the speed up in video card requirements or will my DirectX 10 be good enough for another 2 years?

I'd say this. In almost every DX11-capable game I have ever played, there's the option to play it in DX9 mode. |

I hope so but I am worried & don't want to get booted from Eve twice within a year for system requirement reasons.
Right now this is the current requiement GÇóDrivers: DirectX-« 9.0c (included) and latest video drivers
the Tesslation previews look nice but I know my PC won't be able to support a better vid card that I have right now that uses DirectX 10 card |

To put your worries in perspective, Skyrim was built on DX9 technology.
I doubt very much if DX9 is going to be going completely away for a good few years yet. CCP may well add in DX10+ eyecandy, and I have little doubt in future, ie, the next 3 or 4 years, that shader model 4 will become a minimum requirement (over the current sm3), but honestly, the only things I know of that still run on shader 2 are some laptops that were crap when they were NEW (5 years ago), and PC's that I wouldn't use to wedge a door open with. |

DX11 API (unlike the much worse DX10) actually supports several hardware feature sets.
You can do a DX11 API game that runs on DX9, DX10 and DX11 video cards - with obviously the shiny tessellation features turning off if the hardware doesn't support it. So pretty much any card that runs EVE today will still run EVE - just with some shiny feature buttons grayed out on low end hardware. In fact, WoW today runs on DX11 API with DX9 video card feature effects.
However, DX11 API is not available on XP, so any DX11 version of the game client wouldn't run on XP (only Vista/Win7/Win8). It doesn't mean CCP would have to do it like that - Blizzard actually showed how to do it regardless, retaining DX9 API compatibility for XP users.
CCP just have to be non-stupid with the implementation. So, if done right... even with DX11, everything would still run on the hardware and OS you have now running EVE. Just that some new shiny would require you to have DX11 video card (ie. card that isn't more than 2 years old now, 3-4 years old whenever this would be ready).
You would also probably see performance improvement - in WoW DX9/DX11 switch can improve the framerate up to 30%. Visually nothing changes (WoW doesn't have DX11 specific effects) but just by using the better DX11 API, the game runs smoother.
TLDR: Don't worry. DX11 was done a lot smarter than the crappy DX10. It offers better performance and more shiny effects without any backward compatibility issues (if done competently) |

how do you have a PC recently purchased that doesnt support dx11?
dx11 things are optional, but honestly time to step up guys dx11 has been out for like forever now CCP's been slow in adopting to give people time i mean come on without searching you can get a dx11 card
http://amzn.to/GY0PkV 69$ for dx11, i mean its not great but dx11 is not a reason to complain, especially when its optional lol |

Not to sound offensive but in my country OP.
Cheap is expensive in the end...
so please..spend more on a good expensive machine that will last you for atleast 5 to 7 years...
with PCs it is like, you spend 400 for 1 year and then get outdated and unable to play most/if anything due to already deteriorated CPU/Motherboard/GPU.
and having to spend the next year another 400 on another machine...
have the same happen...having to spend another 400 the year after that...
so yeah beter to spend 1500 for a real good machine, as in the end you'll be cheaper out after 2 or 3 years, as long as you upgrade.

Direct3D 9 is an obsolete API designed for an obsolete operating system. Its over nine years old at this point and does things in a way that is very different from how modern video hardware actually operates. From a user's point of view this is transparent, but for a developer that works with graphics APIs, Direct3D 10/11 are a joy to work with and make it a lot easier to employ all that fancy silicone we spend hundreds of dollars on. Not to mention the separation of rendering hardware from display hardware that came with DXGI... blah, blah, 'insert more nerd stuff here'
Its time for developers and players to cut the cord and move on. The only reason Direct3D 9 |

You've had many years now to upgrade. If your computer is 3 years old, why don't have you already have a Direct3D 10 compatible card? Its been around since 2006. Technology can't remain stagnant just because some folks are poor or afraid of something new and shiny. Of course Direct3D 10 isn't new and shiny anymore.
Direct3D 10/11 are incredible and the sooner everyone gets on board the sooner devs can stop having to make crappy compromises and stop having to implement fall-back rendering options that increase development times and introduce bugs. Like I said, from a user's point of view there's little difference between Direct3D 9 and 10/11, but for developers its like night and day. |

The main DX11 tech they showed was Tessellation, which is optional in every single game that supports it, so why wouldn't CCP make it optional?

Where did I say I did not have DX10 ?
Simply argued that not all can just go out and get new shinies as we have families to provide for, bills to pay and savings should something break down, vacations etc.
Yes of course I have to get new one eventually and no of course I do not expect this running on DX9 forever. However this debate is pointless as CCP already said no and those who can afford new shinies benefits from it. |

no you wont need a new graphics card. but if you want eve to run well and look shiney you will.
if you're on a budget i recommend you never buy the latest, best video card and think that it will keep you current for 3 years. you should either buy the second best card, or the best card of the last series and replace your card every 18months. on a 3 year cycle it will roughly cost you the same but you will have MUCH better framerates and access to "more shiney" on average over the same 3 years. |

Which is unfortunate. Now would be the perfect time for CCP to get rid of their Direct3D 9 renderer, drag it out to the pier and feed it to a shark, something I imagine they could actually pull of where they are. Those are development resources that could be put to the future. |

God forbid you would need to upgrade your 4-generations old graphics card to a 3-generations old graphics card 
It's all a scam because CCP are in cahoots with nVidia, they're going to steal all your money by making you buy a $80 card every 3 years 
Worst case scenario you are still running AGP board (please dude, go run errands for your neighbours to pick up a few bucks) and even then you can just upgrade to a second hand Core2d or something, cost you a hundred bucks with processor and RAM included, slap on an old gtx260 or gtx460 for under eighty, and away you go.
I'm personally poor as hell, I get my computer parts because the local bank offers no interest loans of up to 1200 bucks. So I've been taking advantage by doing a $1200 computer upgrade every 10 months or so, all it costs me is $50 a fortnight in repayments.
You might not be lucky enough to get a no-interest, but so long as the interest rate isn't much more than 10% and you aren't taking out loans in excess of a thousand or so it's a very budget-friendly way to make sure you can always run any game in max quality.
Bonus points if you can do a core upgrade (mobo+CPU+RAM) every few years, put the old parts in a cheap case, and get rid of it second-hand for a few hundred. |

All 18month computers double the performance .. and U think you will be forced to use a DX11 card in 1 or 1.5 years .. M8 wake the **** up. DX11 will be old technology in 2013 , 2014. |

Not only that, but since it's going to take one team a year to get this, and the actual results are going to be less impressive than what has been shown (they cherry picked an example where tesselation works well), I'm not even sure this is worth pursuing at all. Dev resources are finite and with finishing V3s, explosions, redoing the stuff we can see in space that are not ships, POSes, etc. in the pipeline, this will probably not be a priority in the foreseeable future.
It comes down to: what do we need to get devs not to do to get this instead? Not worth it even if it's pretty.

My gaming laptop from 2008 plays Eve fine at a decent graphics level and because games developers are aware that most people are using kit that's 4+ years old it will continue to be supported until it's just not realistic any more. |

Has it occurred to you , we don't care? Tough **** for you/them, the world doesn't stand still for anyone. Can't afford it, then you have to find something else to do. Why should everyone else be held back from the immense possibilities of gaming or anything else because you're broke?

I think the answer is 'yes'
If you want to use your computer for cutting edge gaming experience, then 'no'.
nVidia just released part one of their new architecture with dx11.1 and intel will have ivy bridge Next month and Haswell next year.
Two years from now is going to look radically different to yesterday on the tech front - not to mention a little thing called 4K. Before you know it your computer is going to look like it's approaching the event horizon.

Whether you like it not doesn't matter in regards to time. As Eve Online progresses during the next 10 years, graphics will improve as technology improves. Over time, old DX formats will be outmoded just like how snail mail was outmoded by Email and just like how a large accounting firm with 20 accountants has to lay off 15 of them because technology made it easy for manage accounting.
It's basically inevitable especially given that technology always advances and waits for no one to catch up. This is why I always upgrade.
There is also one factor that a lot of people don't know about. Tin Wiskers
From what I understand, your current hardware will fail one way or the other as these mini-gremlins wreak havoc with your circuits in the long run forcing you to replace the hardware. This is why I always upgrade when needed. There are ways to mitigate tin whiskers, but preventing them completely from occurring in the first place seems unlikely to happen.
Welcome to Eve Online. Don't expect people to be nice to you. |

Man, I'm running a 9800gtx and I'm playing a game like Skyrim flawlessly. And here we have people calling cards which came after this one "old." haha Maybe it's time to upgrade.

And not all expect an MMORPG to be high end. Buy Battlefield if you want high end.
Funny how communities always are looking for bigger player base. Forcing people to have state of the art is not one of them.

I have an IBM Blue Ambra 386dx system and i should not be forced to upgrade it just to play eve.
In other news, a dx11 card only costs 50 bucks and can run at least 2 clients max graphics settings and stable framerate.

Frankly, the Destiny engine needs a brand new face lift.
It's 2001 technology still.
It's worth pursuing just to upgrade the physics engine. The pretty tesselation stuff would be awesome, but wouldn't be the selling point for me.
Frankly, I'm tired of bouncing off of Asteroids "empty spaces" because their bounding sphere in destiny is way too big.

it never ceases to amaze about some peoples attitude with regards improving thier gaming rigs ... they want to play high end games such as eve and others but never look at the bigger picture if manufacturers of games such as eve didnt take thier products to the next level thier products would become stale and monotonous . ccp are trying to keep this game vibrant and cutting edge and inivotive its not really rocket science to see that they want thier baby to mature and progress in a manner thats beneficial to all that plays it .
let me put this another way .. you drive a car (if you drive) most right minded thinking peeps would never drive a car if it`s been driven over 100.000 miles or ten years old ...i see no reason to NOT apply the same logic to gaming rigs when one puts this in a certain context one probably gets more usage out ones gaming rig than thier car come to that .
just my thoughts on the subject |
