DX9 vs DX11 performance

[JayMJay]

After playing Far Cry 3 entirely in DX11, I decided to see if Dx9 would grant me better Performance.

I have an i5-4690k and an Overclocked 750 Ti.

I ran Both the DX9 and Dx11 Versions at the exact Ultra Settings no MSAA at 1080p, with SSAO and alpha coverage at enhanced.

I loaded up the exat same game save and did not touch the controls so i can get readings of the exact same scenario.

DX9: 85FPS

DX11:71.5FPS

So Dx9 is more optimized than DX11, however some sources say that the DX11 Uses prettier shaders.

What do you guys think?

I've played FC3 maxxed on both DX 9 and 11.....the only REALLY noticeable feature is the draw distance clarity. I felt as if the differences were very limited and only noticeable if you're actually looking for them. I run FC3 at about 70fps on dx9, and about 50fps on dx11 on a 660GTX. And while i may be feeding into WID99's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about vid cards, take note that i have 2 kids and little funding for new vid cards. I'm simply stating what i believe is the little difference between the rederers in this game.

If you say you have little funding for a new video card, then i suggest to save up for AMD's new Polaris cards which will offer Crazy performance/$$$ ratios.

I too am hard pressed to tell a difference in quality between DX9 and DX11. for some reason, the clouds in the Dx9 are large and puffy like, while the clouds in DX11 and long and thin like ribs.

OK...to be more specific regarding the funds......umm, hernia surgery will also kind of limit my funds. Time off work, you know, sucks.
