That's an interesting question. The requirements specifically say DX11, but also say HD 3000, which only supports DX10. So I don't know...

Edit: And Vista is listed as supported, but DX11 requires Windows 7.

Update: Found confirmation on the official Firaxis site that the Mac/Linux versions will be released by Aspyr at an unspecified later date than the Windows version.

Edit: Also confirmed a Civilopedia-type feature will be used.

Why did 2K almost double the price from $50 - $90 USD for Australia and New Zealand last weekend?

To my knowledge, they are dropping DX9. I forget where I read that. However, I believe the card requirements are correct. The reason I say this is because even Civ 5 ran with DX11 when you used the DX10/11 option. This can be seen when you run the game in windowed mode. My own machine has a Geforce 300m whcih does not support DX11, but it still ran the game using DX11. Basically the game engine makes use of some options in DX11 that do not require hardware support allowing cards that don't support DX11 to still run it.

DX9 is old and most likley isnt supported in many new games at all

Vista is listed as supported for SP3 only, and SP3 gives you DX11.

For something like this, even with the word 'unofficial' on it, we want to make sure that 2K are happy with it being stickied. I hope it will be approved, but they might prefer to put together an official one instead.

I did try to ask someone at 2K about looking it over, but didn't get an answer. I would be fine if they did an official FAQ themselves (or even worked this into their own official FAQ), just so that an FAQ is available.

32 bit or 64 bit? Multi-thread optimization?
I read on the civfanatics it still only crappy 32 bit, but that thread was 3rd party info.

SamBC 2014 年 8 月 29 日 下午 12:51 
There really isn't much to be gained from making an application 64-bit, unless you want to do high-precision mathematics on the CPU (which the game doesn't) or use more than 4GB of RAM for a single application.

Google has more ofc. So Civ 5 do no maths?

SamBC 2014 年 8 月 31 日 下午 5:21 
Those links are about the system being 64-bit, not the games. There's a lot to be gained by using a 64-bit CPU and OS, especially if you're running other stuff as well as games. Little to be gained by the game being 64-bit except in certain very limited circumstances; after all, if you want to do a lot of high-precision maths, you can get the GPU to do it better.

And there's plenty of maths in Civ5 - but not a lot high-precision. Not sure there's any, actually. No need for double-precision floating point very often, never mind more, and no integer maths with really ridiculously huge numbers.

All Civ5 would gain, really, is the ability to access more memory.
