2012 Fanfest Tesselation


According to nVidia there will be a minor performance cost if anything on my dated GTX 580... so roll it out =)

So lets hear it, are we ready to ditch Windows XP support?

I don't know... only CCP can give us the feedback on how many people are sitting on XP boxes... but how about our Forum trolls, how many of you are still using XP?

Now with 100% less Troll.

Yes, tessel his vessel and put some brezzel in his shizzle.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

CCP iirc from other threads have said 50% or more are still using XP. Including me. Upgrade you say? Good luck with that my car insurance is more important...

DirectX has a "all or nothing" approach to introduce new features. If you like to use tessellation you need DX11. Moving an engine from DX9 to 11 is not trivial, thats why almost no game ships with two renderers - they have to decide what they want to support to safe maintenance costs. Even bleeding edge games which sell because of their graphics have no DX11 since they do not want to exclude players (e.g mechwarrior online). Crysis can do that since its all about graphics... eve not so much.

if CCP would move eve to DX11 today it would make it unplayable for a big part of the players.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

By this logic, people using XP are not allowed to complain about graphics, however I bet they do.

EVE is shinier than most other games i play. I got no issues. The game mechanics and combat style is much more important than "OOOOO SHINEY!!!!" to me. Though shiney is nice too.... Big smile

Yah, we'll patiently wait another few years until your hardware fizzles and dies and you wont matter to CCP anymore either way.

Edit: Make Windows 7 (not 8) cheap and make building a new computer cheap and i have no issue with DX11 Idea

Admit it, your car insurance isn't 'REALLY' more important...........it's just you're less likely to get arrested for driving an out of date gaming rig.........although if the forum police had that kind of power I'm sure they'd abuse it Roll

I have deliberately developed an air of cynicism that I originally intended to make me appear somewhat louche and caddish but actually comes across as irritable hostility combined with the unspoken threat of sudden violence.....

As a Windows 7 user myself, I concur, bring on the Tessels. I don't see why CCP couldn't have a DX toggle like a lot of other games. Make DX9 default with a box to select DX11 that unlocks Tessellation options. Would cater to both XP users, and Win7.
