I did not get a chance to. My work schedule lately is pretty weird. Anyways, did anyone get to check out the test? Anyone record it? What are your thoughts and perspectives? Does it run better? Any difference at all?
It was okay. There were some cool graphics additions like when Artillery comes in (unless I've just always been IN it and never been outside of it to watch it before) but there are bugs (no footstep sounds; like ever). I did notice turning VSync on killed my FPS. Dropped it down to like 30 FPS and without VSync there was a little tearing here and there. My poor 560 Ti wasn't designed for MWO with DX11 I don't think LOL
Yeah, from what I saw artillery (or maybe airstrike) looked like meteors striking the earth. Lets just say they looked pretty bad ass!
They do that on the normal server too, that came with the changes in the last patch though it may look even MORE flashy with DX11
I was a little bummed I missed the test, but from what it sounds like, I didn't miss much. Overall, how were the FPS? Anyone get a boost or was it about the same? DX11 is a bit more efficient at handling a few different processes, so I would imagine seeing an overall bump across the board.
With VSync turned on I losed about 40% FPS. From 60 down to about 35-40. With VSync turned off I was getting about the same. They did say though that "This is a stability test and not a optimization pass"
