[QUOTE="DanielDust"]DX 11 is not only about graphics it's about tessellation too and that is a groundbreaking feature that can't be ignored, it'll change gaming, more or less, it'll definitely revolutionize gaming so way more, but not many will use this feature since you have to run the games on consoles too so less, but after they release the new wave of consoles in another 2 years or so, there will hardly be any games that don't use it and because of tessellation developers will add way more detail to the game, we;ll have way better graphics and way more complex games.DigiTM73
What your saying is if a revolutionary new system came out for example that truly made game graphics ultra photorealistic, then game companies wouldn't use it anyway to make the games fantastic unless the console also supported it? That seems a bit unfair, I can't understand why PC games should be held back due to limitations of consoles. I don't see game companies doing this, it's moreso catching on to the tech and grasping the new programming.
Otherwise what's the point of technical advancement if somethinglike a console holds back technology? If this were the case why release a new DX, instead of waiting for a new console first.
I totally swayed the OP post...sorry the game has no Ultra setting. What we get today in terms of tessellation is pretty much an added feature to a let's say base console game (like BF BC 2), sure it works but it'll perform nothing like a game that was build around tessellation.Also what I was saying, about way better graphics, games that are waaay more complex doesn't mean now, or tomorrow, but in a few years, slowly with time, because tessellation makes a game that has let's say the game is extremely detailed it has millions of billions of polygons in your scene and performance is decent, but with tessellation it simplifies what you can barely see and concentrates on a smaller area that is close to you making it even more concentrated and detailed, you could make way more detailed models and structures that are phenomenal compared to the old one and still get the same performance (something like depth of field for example, your main focus is clear and detailed but everything else is blurred and barely detailed, tessellation doesn't really affect graphics but all the buildings, models, etc) .
Now the technology is pretty new so nothing major but if it'll be used more and more, in time it will become an incredible "tool" for games but until the new console wave most games being multiplatform it doesn't really help its advancement because few will bother to implement it (implement, not actually use its features) and hopefully there will be a few companies that will actually use tessellation at its best in some PC exclusive games (at its best = not just to simplify what you don't see but to actually enhance what you see).
