| greenmedic88 said: If you waited 18 months after the debut of each version of Direct X to buy a VGA card, you'd either never buy a new card, or always buy a VGA card about 6-12 months before the next version of Direct X came out. While it's not particularly intelligent to buy a VGA card specifically for DX11 compatibility when there are only a handful of DX11 games currently available, particularly the enthusiast models that command a premium, it's not particularly intelligent to wait almost until the same card is on the verge of being cut from production either despite the big difference in price unless price was the primary feature being shopped for. |
You're missing the point completely. Nobody besides you said anything about specifically avoiding DX11 cards. Instead, you should buy the best price:performane ratio for your budget. If that happens to include DX11 compatibility, great. If not, then it doesn't make much of a difference at this point in time. Period. Now can we stop this argument and get back to helping people with their computer building? :)
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
