With the minimum requirement of crysis3 out, about 60-70% of the gaming population is enraged as hell....(including me)
crysis 3 is the first game ever sporting a tag of dx 11 gpu in its minimum requirements....****

Frankly speaking, its one of the most foolish steps crytek have taken and it literally makes no sense..
On one hand crytek empowers its new title on seven year old consoles while on the other hand, it simply refuses to accept even dx10 on pc's which can blow the doors of any present console.....lol....

So basically what i'm asking is :-
Are there more upcoming games (if known) which sport this hefty tag of min req : a dx11 gpu...???
IF NOT, then is it worth upgrading my gpu for just a single ******* game.?????

(i own a dx 10 card....99999999999 times powerful than a console and hence this topic concerns me)
And any opinion in this regard is a welcome...
 


^+100......
exactly....at least there's someone who feels that this is no real progress.....
 
You did say in your Op that all opinions are welcome,
its just taken till now for someone to give the fiery response you were looking for to reinforce your own feelings on the subject,
If you take the general mood here you will see that most folks aren't too fussed or at least accept the inevitible onslaught of progress and will just play it regardless, but thats a freedom we all enjoy, to do as we wish
@Fulle, I'm not boycotting EA because they are releasing a game I want to play, I don't allow politics into my gaming, gaming is for relaxing imo, not getting wound up about.

u are saying one thing and u yourself are countering it......its like being an existential nihilist.....lol...just kidding bro

u said its free discussion of opinion and i am expressing mine.....thats all......
and my opnion is to be relieved when someone else's thoughts matches mine.....as simple as that
 
Nah, You should know me by now man, I like to play Devils advocate a lot, I'll voice an opinion even though it may not me mine, because all voices deserve/need to be heard sometimes :)
Personally I dislike companies 'forcing' upgrades, I mean in this instance if Crytek had made the game for Pc only then demanded DX11 hardware it would be harsh, but they have at least left the option for consoles to play it, if folks want to play on Pc then yes they need a card, but its not the only option available,
I was just pointing out that the 'I've got it all' crowd can and will pay for the necessary gear just because they can, or to say they have it, whilst the not so well off have to 'suffer' playing it on consoles, or scrape up the script for a new card
Its maybe not the nicest set up, but its democracy and capitalism at work hehe

^+100.....
very thoughtfully said.......
 
I haven't bothered to read the whole thread, so if someone hasn't already pointed it out, the CryENGINE 3 does not support Dx10. It supports Dx9 and 11, and honestly Dx9 is a thing of the past. My own game (being developed on the CryENGINE 3) is just going to have Dx11.
