Yes, yes, YES, YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!Big smile

I was blown away by the ship ploughing it's way through the asteroid field, the tessellation demonstration was awesome and the visually damaged ship was a real OMG ! momentBig smile

Thanks CCP for showing us this.

Superb, now we're talking.

I am happy they are partnering up with Nvidia on this Blink

Please check out the Carbon REST ("CREST") info coming out of Fanfest, and the new eveonline.com starmap and ship viewer, built on top of WebGL. We understand :)

The graphics shown were absolutely gorgeous but how will those scale for all those poor SOB's who don't have a DX 11 card ?


Unfortunately the answer is "not at all". Tessellation is a DX11 only thing, and that's that -- the hardware just isn't there on a DX10 chip. Within that class of hardware though, tessellation can be cranked up or scaled back as the realtime demo showed.

-1 if it means my PC won't be able to run Eve anymore. What will all the new system requirements be to do all of this? If Eve will still be backwards compatable with DirectX 9.C for another year then I'm +1


DirectX11 requires Windows Vista or better -- no Windows XP.. The DirectX9 client is not going anywhere anytime soon!

they could have a high end client download for those people, or a higher end setting, but if it means people with low end pc's can't run the game as smoothe -1.

a big YES. For works in progress they look amazing, I can't imagine a final polished result

I don't understand the objection.

The people with good rigs will see the benefits. The people with crap rigs will be no worse off than before.

Then again, aspies don't use mobile devices since they never leave the basement. Perhaps CCP understands its users better than I do.

Most EVE players can afford both the high-end gaming rigs for the graphics of the main EVE client and the mobile devices for the account management and the social stuff. Currently neither can replace the other.

If you think that CCP needs to exclusively cater to those of you who are limited to the free device you received as a part of your regular provider upgrade then I think you are sheat out of luck.

Rather offtopi, but is it possible to put up a techdemo on youtube? Also for AMD Card users (ex Ati), will it work on these cards too as it is a DX11 feature or is it only Nvidia?

Dude, where is my Quafe Megathron?

So the decision is binary? Either CCP goes forward with tessellation, and people have to upgrade/quit, or they stick with the current system?

Just wondering if there is a "Classic" and "Premium" path that can be followed (short term) such as back in 2008.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.
