Crysis 3 DX 11 only but consoles are not DX 11

Realmjumper · 2013-02-01 05:06:12

Why would Crytek make Crysis 3 Direct X 11 only on PC? Consoles don't have video cards that can run DX 11 so they get away with it. Why can't PC? I think Crytek is being cheap by not developing at least a DX 10 and 9 so you can run the game on older video cards. They did it with Crysis 2 why not 3. This will limit how many people will be able to play the game. Your thoughts?

[QUOTE="Iantheone"]IIRC you can still play DX11 games with a DX10 card, but you dont get to use all the features. Iantheone

No you can not.

I thought that was like, one of the things that windows 7 did. Even if you only have a DX10 card it will still show up as running DX11 in windows. Meh IDK, been long time since I ever thought about it

That just means you have directx 11 installed.
