No wonder why they were showing PC footage. C'mon AMD/Nvidia, launch those new HD7xxx/GTX 6xx series soon! Btw, no dx9 support! Strange given that it's also on consoles. |
DX10 (and 11 even more) actually lowers API overheads a lot if you design for it, as far as I know BF3 will be the seccond game to actually be designed to take advantage of the lower API overheads the first I know of being Just cause 2. Everything else was basically just using a DX9 renderer that had some extra effects tacked on (Crysis 1 etc did this) which is why DX10 got a reputation for lowering performance.
