Top 10 Upcoming DirectX 11 games

[Shayla]

Windows 7 is out, and with it is the latest version with DirectX ? DirectX 11. The new graphics API is an evolution from DirectX 10, but it doesn?t only include more features, it?s faster than the previous version (unlike the DX9 to DX10 transition). Among the new features is Tessellation, which increases the amount of visible polygons, and multi-threaded rendering, which takes advantage of multicore CPUs a lot better than previous DX versions.

While only ATI?s 5000 series of graphics cards support DX11, Nvidia will join the club later this year, when new games which support the standard will emerge as well. We?ve picked top 10 games that are confirmed to include DirectX 11 support when released.10: Battleforge (available)lable)

Alan Wake will be a DirectX 13 game at this rate.

[Victor Rambo]

Battlefield 3 looks great :D

[deletedxyz]

Battlefield 3 looks great :D

That is one multiplayer war game that I will definitely be looking forward to buy unlike Modern Warfare 2.

[Tech Star]

Wait, wtf?

While Alan Wake was originally a showcase for Intel’s quad core CPUs and DirectX 10, the game has for some reasons slipped from the PC lineup, and only Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are officially mentioned. However, the game was originally developed for the PC in mind, and all signs point towards a PC version which is delayed in order to get a DX 11 overhaul, and which is slated for release after the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

Is this not a Microsoft studios game?

Also, BF3 looks beautiful. I loved 2 and 2142. :yes:

[Billus]

sssss, wonder if I can hold off with my DX10 card. If F1 2010 turns out to be great, I just might. But damn, don't all the screenshots look nice.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

it?s faster than the previous version (unlike the DX9 to DX10 transition)

Ehh? DX10 had optimisations over DX9, games like HL2:EP2 can take advantages of certain DX10 hardware features to offer performance increases over DX9 hardware.

[Draconian Guppy]

grrrrrrrrr alan wake better not have any more delays, else i'm calling a duke-nukem-forever on it.

[Cyplex]

Oh my BF3 looks GREAT!!!!

I just finished pre-ordering BF: BC2 so it should hold me off until BF3 hits the market. /me feeling giddy!

[Mr. Gibs]

crysis 2 lol...

I can just see the comments already...

"BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS...2!"

[Cyplex]

I for one don't think Crysis 2 looks that impressive.

[Xerxes]

Cool, I didn't know that! is it automatic or you need to enable it with a command line argument?

I for one don't think Crysis 2 looks that impressive.

How can you say that based on one crummy screenshot? going by Crysis I'd say it's pretty safe to say it's going to look gorgeous! (and probably need a very high end machine to run maxed out too :p)

Maybe because I thought the first one already looked GREAT! ;)

[MistaT40]

F1 2010 - I'm just not too fond of Codemasters.

[Omen1393]

I for one don't think Crysis 2 looks that impressive.

Maybe because it is a screenshot from Crysis Warhead, released in september of 2008.

Here is the Cryengine 3 which is what Crysis 2 is going to run on:

The Battlefield 3 screenshot is also not from BF3, as of now there are no screenshots of BF3, i'm guessing that SS is from Battlefield Bad Company.

...

If you have the hardware, it'll use it. Source uses "dxlevel" modes to control what it renders with, 80 means DX8, 90 means DX9, and 98 means DX9 with DX10 hardware features (which is the default)

[thehippo]

lol omen, i was just about to make that BF3 correction (only reason i joined :x)

but yea the BF3 SS in the first post is from a BF:BC2 multiplayer video

Also i read in a forum (EA UK BF:BC2 forums) that BF:BC2 will also have DX11. The post was from a dev.

[Lamp0]

Yes, that "BF3" screen shot is Battlefield Bad Company 2.

[Berserk87]

supreme commander 2 :D

one of my favorite games, so well made, but i dont see how its going to run when the first one lagged at parts on my quad core/4GB DDR2/GeForce 9600GT, i hope they've optimized it.

[JonathanVP]

man...these games look awesome!

[Churma]

Alan Wake will be a DirectX 13 game at this rate.

+1 Hahaha, I all forgotten about Alan Wake. I thought Microsoft dropped development on it.

[S00N3R FR3AK]

I for one don't think Crysis 2 looks that impressive.

Yeah that was my first thought my second was

OMG ITS A BATTLEFIELD 3 SCREENSHOT

Then I read the thread and was both sadden and somewhat happy at the same time. At least BF BC looks awesome BF3 better look even better.

[Elessar]

F1 2010 is slated for mid-2010 (think July...) and that image for F1 2010 is horrible. At least use an image from the F1 2009 season (since that's basically what the cars will be based on).

[Strawmouth Pete]

One thing I really hope Crytek nails down for Crysis 2 is the foliage.

In crysis/warhead it looks like a green mesh.

really ruined the look of the game for me, otherwise it was beautiful.

[ObiWanToby]

All the FPS games look neat, but I am most looking forward to supreme commander 2.
