That's the point, you can't push super gaming tech on an mmo full of PC players , because only 5% have the newest cards.

You need to build for 4 year old GFX cards, that's just the way it works


Well considering DX11 has been around for about 3 years, they should be right on track to hit that 4 year mark.



My 2 years old notebook have DX11 graphic (GF 425M 1GB)
And its not gamer notebook at all.
So, please dont talk about that its too new... Roll
And price of DX11 graphic cards is from less then 50$ now.

Does anyone else remember the offer of being able to buy a graphics card with plex? It was in the CCP presents thing at fan-fest. So, really, if your PC cant run this then Im sorry your still playing on a toaster and perhaps its time to set aside some money for an upgrade?


@CCP: I got the impression from the demo that it might be possible to turn this feature off, if that's the case then really we could have our cake and eat it too. IE: those with toasters for PC's could opt out of the upgrade and the rest of us could ooh and ahh at the pretty.

IMO I see no reason not to do this. If the time estimates hold true then do it.

Can't answer yes or no. Personally I don't want it, I'm always max zoomed out and don't care about the graphics, I want content. But I guess for players who want it, it'd be a nice addition. At the same time, CCP is reknown for always managing to slip in memory leaks and kill graphics cards, even tho barely stressed, and at times it's even been horrendous while just docked in station..

No, I don't want CCP to waste resources on something I don't benefit from, and I have no belief in them being able to pull off properly.

Yes, I want CCP to create more options (graphics included) that has on/off settings, that could make a bigger variety of the playerbase pleased with the game.

Knowing CCP tho, it won't just take years and years and years, be bug riddled and constant memory leaks until finally functional two-three years after release. It's also going to be forced on the whole playerbase, with no option to turn it off, thus making it complete bullshit.

"No."
(but I want to say yes)

Aye, but I also want:

- the new interface with picture in picture targetting, cool neocom and edgy interface.
- the beautiful explosions
- seeing the burning insides of my ship as it gets more and more damaged
- etc
- basically everything torifrans showed us

If you want a nine years old game to stay relevant in the future, you need to assimilate newer graphics technologies so that EVE doesn't start looking really dated at some point. That's why I say it is essential that you do include graphical features as the one displayed at fanfest 2012.

Any computer made in the last 2 years should be capable of running this, seeing as DX11 is 3 years old, and most even budget computers implement technology within a year.
