DX10 is dead-end noone cares about that one anymore...

Ok.... Then what about DX11 or whatever is the latest cool hotness at that time? Would that not help on some of the issues with LOD and particles?
"You are touched by darkness. I see it as a blemish that will grow with time. I could warn you of course, but you would not listen. I could kill you, but someone would take your place. So I do the only thing I can – I go."
indeed, for LOD switching it would help a lot. In fact, using DX11 in itself, you shouldn't need more than one resolution LOD anymore (in theory).
But then again, what is the percentage of gamers owning a DX11 card? Not that many. (although more are getting one these days since it is more affordable and wider spread). Still, the games using DX11 are scarce to say the least

I don't think DX11 will become mainstream like DX9 until the next generation of consoles hits us, unfortunately.
Also, the games that do use DX10/11 may look pretty, but mostly suck in game play.

What are you talking about?Originally Posted by SWAT_BigBear
S.T.A.L.K.E.R CoP, Bad Company 2, Metro 2033 are just three I can name off the top of my head, all amazing games and extremely good gameplay and look great. DX11 would be amazing if implemented into OA/ArmA 2. Lighting would finally have the potential to look good.
Click for mah PC specs!

Yeah, no. It is not like BIS has several millions of reserved resources for that kind of engine coding. They need to code the engine pretty much again for the implemention of new technologies such as tesselation and better lighting and particle system. The Direct X is just an API for easier programming.What are you talking about?

Can someone summarise the better lighting of DX11? Is it anything like deferred lighting? Deferred lighting would be appropriate for ArmA2, no more hardware light limits
Fire And Smoke for ArmA2: JTD_FireAndSmoke v0.2
For better future effects addons, please vote for this ticket.
well, buy all the DLC they make so then they can work with a new engine upgrade with DX11 (?)
