To demonstrate S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat's support of DirectX 11, publisher bitComposer has issued some new screenshots from GSC Game World's latest.

Direct X10 vs. Direct X11

Explained bitComposer: "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat will support two of the most important features of DirectX 11: 'tessellation' and 'compute shaders.'"

The creepy post-apocalyptic PC action-RPG hits German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) in November, then Europe and North America in Q1 2010.

Who cares? 70% of people are still on XP and can't run DX10 or DX11.

Take a page from Valve's how-to-sometimes-not-be-retarded book and build your engine while concentrating on the hardware of the majority for better sales and polish.

I'm assuming the rest of the engine is flawless and the poor engineer is bored out of his wits with nothing to do if they have time to tack on DX11 shit.
