For the love of christ people a dx11 card is old as hell and you can get them for like 50$ at this point

WTF is wrong with people running crappy computers...

No games are NOT moving to ipads and phones, sitting on the toilet or in a train is nice but games like EVE and WOW will always be PC Centric as will all other MMO's there will be portable CLIENTS but they wont be full fledged ever as touch does not equal best control type...

Well, you know that the PS3 graphics use the NVIDIA RSX Reality Synthesizer tech and the next gen console builds on it. PhysX included. So, don’t be surprised to see the PC client port of the upcoming EVE console launcher favor NVIDIA based hardware in PCs.


The RSX was announced in 2005, and Nvidia didn't purchase Ageia until early 2008, so it's unlikely that the RSX marchitecture has anything special about it that makes it particularly good at PhysX (other than that Nvidia owns it).

In the ideal world, CCP would have enough resources to develop their own physics framework that could run on DirectCompute and add to their Carbon portfolio. In the real world, I just have to hope that CCP doesn't lock themselves into supporting the full future glory of EVE on only one of the two major GPU companies. Not that I have anything against buying Nvidia hardware for myself, I just don't like my buying choice to be artificially limited by middleware licensing SNAFUs.

DX11 of course is a no-brainer.

well, DO IT, but fixing old content, and bringing actual new content should have a higher priority, missing DX11 graphics is nothing i consider broken

Graphics are already 10x times better than any other mmo If they change anything it should be turret and missle effects visible in large engagements without losing FPS. Better graphics arent going to be better if you have to lower the settings to play it.

We sure as hell dont need stylized graphics **** that ****!!!

My vote, leave em be. If its not broke dont fix it.

I recall one night in a nightclub called the matrix, there I was... Mother of god there I am! Holy f**k.

Switching from DX 9 to DX 11 can cause performance improvements when rendering the same graphics as well. Check it out.

I would delay the graphics candy couple years. It looks pretty but at the moment there are more important things to do. I would prefer having custom ship paining and v3 ships out 1st. Then maybe some content to incarna and after that, new dx11 effects... There is not really need to push those as eve doesn't look like "old game" atm either.

Now is not good time.

I hope CCP understands that more computer-users are drifting towards mobile devices like laptops, netbooks and tablets. The high-end, graphics-friendly desktop is going the way of the dodo.

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



no they are not. more and more "people" are drifting towards tablets because they have never been gamers and think "omg haz u seen this game called angry birds?!?!?!?!?! i haz it, like me on facebook. k thanks. omg i am now a gamer because i say LOL!"

gamers have and always will be pc guys because you get access to the best graphics, much faster than other platforms.

while i agree that as the hardware catches up, we should look to ccp to deliver us ports, i wouldnt be wasting resources on this until at least the first iterations of windows 8 tablet hardware is released, known and in people's hands. at least ccp will be dealing with a known os (thanks directx) and only have to start thinking about available processing power, screen size, touch ui and "shiney" usage as it effects battery draw.
