new to game, DX11 or just play?

[Adeptus Lebowski]

I realise this has been talked about before but its confusing as people are saying different things. If i choose DX11, will it be better and do i also need to select a beta from the list?

Otherwise, i have all graphics turned to max in game and not really impressed tbh. Maybe i should upscale past 100% though.

Thanks guys

Welcome,

Use DX11 for sure, night and day for performance and visual quality. If you are running DSR in nVidia menu do not use scaling in the game also; if not running DSR crank it to 400% if your system will run it. If you run into FPS issue, the first thing to look at is removing any hood or passenger above the door mirrors.

Just a note on DSR and this game in case you do run it...it only works well at 4x and 0%; anything else and you lose the benefits.

No you don't have to choose beta, DX11 was officially released in 1.35, just right click the game in steam library or double click the game in library and choose DX11 experimental

as for being better Yes, DX11 is alot more stable then DX9 and it also performs betters then DX9

Thanks guys, just tried DX11 at 400% and runs very smooth and looks great. Should i keep all other graphic options at max as well please? I heard on a youtube vid that turning MLAA off is better.

It depends on your system and personal preference - I use DX11, I'd say it was different, rather than better than DX9.

and do i also need to select a beta from the list?

No, the release branch is on 1.35.x now.

To switch between DX9 and DX11 run ATS from the Steam Library using the "Play" button, that'll bring up a dialog to choose which DX version.

The setting is saved to a config file and running ATS from a desktop shortcut will launch ATS with the DX version you last used.

Also, once you've selected to run in DX11, you can just hit the play button from then on and the game will continue to start in DX11 mode.

When you hit the play button, the game will start with whatever renderer is configured. Choosing to start with a renderer specific option just sets that renderer mode in the configuration before launching the game - so you only need to select an option if you want to change renderers.

DX11 will give you more FPS with a weaker GPU but it looks the same as running DX9.

Some Mods will only work with DX9.

Do we still use NVIDIA inspector with DX11?

[Robinicus]

Inspector does not work for driver level controls in anything later than DX10; you can use some of the post processing effects but you can't use the forced AA tricks etc that worked in DX9; MS locked down the API for anything past DX10.
