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.

I'd just like to point out that a STALKER game probably isn't the best to judge DX11 with. Tons of the assets in these screens are recycled from Clear Sky which were recycled from the original - which didn't even have normal maps. You'd be able to spot differences more easily from a more modern game built from the ground up.

      Original STALKER has normal maps, even though the screenshots you keep posting do not display them.
