Only a fool hates that which he knows nothing about |
Bit-Tech.net has a small write up with what they saw at Nvision last couple of days. Makes an interesting read and they say worth the delay... www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/08/28/age-of-conan-directx-10-content-looks-stunning/1
I was a bit upset over the delay to the launch of DX10 (thats an understatement to some of you), However, graphics don't make a game we know that, but realistic effects as described by the viewing author above certainly add an extra dimension and another level of immersion. Can't wait to try it out! New Tarantia Commons DX10 - DX 10 Goodness - |

Have your opinion, that's cool, but at least back it up, whats not cool is just posting game hate for the sake of it. It will add something to the game I think that will enhance it more so, sight is one of the most important senses, improving on it in game is no bad thing. We shall have to see how its implemented and how performance stacks up. New Tarantia Commons DX10 - DX 10 Goodness - |

Is that the physics optimisation for nvidia cards, or does it work for ati too? I am not sure, but I think those 2 companies use entirely different physics engines. |

CUDA is Nvidia only, ATI has openCL, that lets the cards do C, C++, and assembly nativity on the card CUDA is only C, and does it through drivers, so it should not that hard to move something from CUDA to openCL if u have the openCL SDK. With regards to AoC though ATI cards still hold the performance crown in game though. here is what Fudzilla said: www.fudzilla.com/index.php

Graphics and sound are the only areas that Age of Conan hasn't received complaints.... And I'll give odds you won't see DX10 in game before the middle of next year. |

It makes you question why they refer to DX10 capabilities added to the game as content. It also makes you wonder why his so complementary to Funcom for creating some physics engine. Dx10 already posses the capability of doing physics, it's on of the main capabilities of the API. I wouldn't be surprised if this new so called physics system they created is simply using these dx10 capabilities. I custom tool to use it so to speak.

Having phisics on the graphic card don't make sense to me. The graphic card IS THE THING doing the 99% of the work already. The faster the graphic card, the smoother the FPS. The CPU is almost idle, doing nothing and all. And you want to move phicis from the CPU to the GPU? thats idiotic. It will make less FPS, and will make a the idle CPU more idle. Don't make sense at all. |

I use to admire you for your energy defending AoC, against all odds. No more. The ugly face of the fanboism shows heres... :-( |

Sounds like the whole reason for having directX is going backwards. I remember in the bad old days of DOS when you had to comb through the lists of drivers that the games manufacturers had to supply the game with and you had to make a best geuss of your one wasn't listed. Then MS said we'll make directX the games devs just make the games to work for this standard and the hardware manufacturers make sure that they comply to that and hey presto games more or less worked out of the box. One of the very few things that MS have actually done right.
Although back to DX10, isn't this now dead in the water anyways will DX11 already in the pipeline? |

Given the fact that the entire game of AOC sucks, from character animations, to pvp, to crafting, to siege warfare, to pvp balance, to storyline, to combat, to healing, to over-instancing, to a useless economy, to broken raids, to broken grouping structure; WTF difference would DX10, which should have been released at launch, MAKE NOW! |
||

many people with high-end machines are having issues running this game in high settings, I guess they will change their video settings back and forth every time they run into a siege? Anyways, this DX10 was NOT released with the game for a reason. |

The game already did look good. Why are they putting so much effort into the graphics, when it's obvious that they lose subscribers because content is missing. Now I know some people on this forum are using that as a point to say that funcom lies. And perhaps funcom puts so much effort into it to correct that promise. But keep in mind that continuesly bringing up the missing DX10 is just meaningless hate. The genuine people who are disapointed in AoC are disapointed for content reasons. |

DX10 is a nonissue now. A feature that will benefit @ max 20-30% of the population. The feature that benefits all of the players in the game? Content. Well, it appears that I have to take back something I said.. If this actually releases, perhaps this is the one and only portion of the game that has polish, DX10. The rest of the game? Total trash. |

I want a working game not better Graphics. Why won't Funcom learn All MMO's have grinds. If you don't like to Grind then MMO's are not for you. |

And stability...even now we have stability issues still speically for AMD users like i am. I can run on shader 3.0 for a few hours then get bsod so most of us AMD users are running on shader 2.0 and i be honest...on that shader model the graphics is as bad as wow (and that saying something) even lotro graphics is better. |

Hey Avery this isnt the AOC boards and you arent one of their fanboy mods. Give us a break with the ROC crap. You come here spouting your opinions based on nothing but blind belief because someone bought you a drink at a gaming show and then try to call the dogs on someone who voices their opinion? Not very becoming of a person representing a large corporation on these boards but just about on par with the professionalism Ive come to expect from anyone connected with AOC and Funcom.

Actually, it makes perfect sense. Ever heard from a developer of the Unreal Engine state that either the CPU or GPU will become obselete in the near future? They both are getting much more powerful as the years go on and eventually it'll just become a point where we won't need the other. I'm thinking they probably already have a lot of data running through the CPU as it is (their sucky networking for that matter) and most of the players already have a beast of a video card to play the damn thing. I know I'd be happy with a million calculations going through my video card than my CPU, only because my CPU never seems to be on par with video card (if it was, probably better off turning it into a server). |

Any new or returning player to WOW, send me a PM for some help getting started. |
Funcom is no longer even trying to satisfy players, they are simply going for media attention any way they can get it. Funcom/AOC will be out of business by Jan09 ................................................ |

That's the problem with AoC. The attitude has always been to add it on to the game later on, whether it's content, missing features, or core components. To rr2real's point, I agree. Unless DX-10 is going to somehow change how Funcom operates as a company, the game will continue to be bad. Their horrible customer service, lies, and arrogant attitude is what really ruined AoC IMO.
