What are you doing when DirectX 9 support ends??

[CazadorDeLobo]

Time to upgrade the potato? Or, not worried?

If you are heavily affected; Is upgrading something you've considered?

[CazadorDeLobo]

Below are pre-filtered searches for North America on eBay where said upgrades are shown in practice to be cheap, affordable, and easily available(to North Americans).

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=rx+560&_sop=15 Be suspicious that these models may be nerfed versions, such as 2gb, "14CU", 75w/45w vs 90w(you want this or greater) Spend $50-75 tops (North America)

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xi5-2500.TRS0&_nkw=i5-2500&_sacat=164&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=3&_sop=15&_osacat=164&_odkw=core+i5+sandy+bridge&_dcat=164&rt=nc&Socket%2520Type=LGA%25201155%252FSocket%2520H2 For Sandy Bridge users, don't spend more than $30 and if I'm honest, be picky about shipping

These are two examples of what will make the most impact to playing the game. If you're on Intel HD graphics and your processor is undeniably bad(2 cores, less than 3.0Ghz, pre-6000 or Skylake architecture), make an effort to keep the potato functioning! It's a not so serious investment for enjoyable 1080p60hz gaming.

The only purpose of this comment is to let everyone know about the current Okay-value entry-level components, at least on the market-level. You yourself should research how these components can make a significant impact to any budget PC that does not have a dedicated graphics card. You will want to have a 64-bit operating system installed and quadruple-check that you are purchasing compatible parts, or the necessary adapters to make everything work!!!

Dude, you know direct X versions are linked to graphics cards not CPUs?

Regretting the loss of such a great engine to much newer inferior ones...

Do you actually know the difference between them???????
X9 is complete garbage, it pretty much made AMDanything unusable and capped performance for heaps of games. The only issues with newer versions are the developers havnt properly coded compatibility....

Yes and losing AMD is bad how?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you don’t know a thing about anything, do you know what AMD is? It’s a brand of computer hardware, which a LOt of people use ( not as much as nvdia), back in 9 days people with any AMD card weren’t able to play most games properly, 9 was terrible, also direct X isn’t an engine....... just get off this forum.

sorry but, Dx9 is garbage, also Direct X is an API, DX10 and above just performs better, it makes your game look better, and run better if its compatible, it handles multi core cpu's way better than Dx9
games are optimzed for this, and newer ones, simply because it just does more, and better

Continue to exist i guess, i already have a computer with windows 10.

Dude, you know that if you're going to invest in upgrading your computer that you need to look at more than just the GPU, as well as consider what the bottlenecks become??? Yeah, I don't like your smarmy attitude throughout this post, as though you think everyone here is an idiot and you need to preach to them how software and hardware works. That's entirely beyond the point and you've failed to flex your "knawlege" so enjoy the report for attacking that other user for no real reason. Take a chill pill ffs.

Lol you’re such a pc cry baby. I’m just calling people out for spouting nonsense they know nothing about, nothing wrong with the truth. Also, cpu bottlenecking gpu performance is beyond irrelevant for warframe....

That's a completely asinine statement with no basis. You're here being troublesome and spreading misinformation, which makes it difficult to justify the rude tone you've chosen, which is enough of a reason to discredit anything you say in the first place.

I’m just calling people out for spouting nonsense they know nothing about, nothing wrong with the truth.

You could kindly correct the lad's views of the aged API, but you've chosen a hostile and similarly ignorant path of calling him stupid while using inaccurate terms to describe what an API is, how CPUs interact with APIs and GPUs, and ultimately how AMD's GPUs have fared in competition over the years.

Also, cpu bottlenecking gpu performance is beyond irrelevant for warframe....

This is inherently false, as you're stating subjective reasoning as fact.

While Warframe is not Ashes of the Singularity, anyone with any knowledge of how bottlenecking works will know that the following statement holds true and is a feasible basis for my post:

Any Sandy Bridge CPUs or earlier will bottleneck an RX 560(originally posted this backwards af), as well as modern Celerons to some extent(in the form of stutter) at 1080p. Resolution is also important; lowering resolution would increase CPU load to some degree, as well. So, it is absolutely relevant in Warframe and beyond that, where users might play other games or do something other than play Warframe with their computers; imagine that.

To actually address your comment here, I hope this is memes. This better be memes. DX12 is, eh, not really what it was cracked up to be, but DX11 is in fact in every way a better API. You also have to consider the demand for people who can code and optimize for DX9 compatibility... Those people have wisely moved on in their lives in order to find work. Good riddance to DX9 let's do away with that everywhere we can.

Dude - that was *AMD's* fault. That's the price you pay for their 'lower price' - not very good support.

You can't blame it on Nvidia either - Dx is a Microsoft thing. AMD just screwed up their support for its implementation.
