ut 2007

Will it use d10?

 

[Naldo]

I heard it goes to 11.

Yes it does use DX 10 optionally. You'll still be able to use it on XP with DX 9 though.

And DX 11? What are you talking about??

And DX 11? What are you talking about??

Watch Spinal Tap

I heard it goes to 11.

Why not just make 10 louder?

 

[Tazman2]

Why not just make 10 louder?

Because 11 is a higher # so thus louder then 10! DUH!

UT2007 uses Unreal Engine 3

Unreal Engine 3 was designed around DirectX 9 ONLY

therefore, UT2007 is a DirectX 9 game, and if you don't believe me then read the first sentence of this page:

http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/technology/ue30.shtml

for those that are lazy, here is what it says:

Unreal Engine 3 is a complete game development framework for next-generation consoles and DirectX9-equipped PC's, providing the vast array of core technologies, content creation tools, and support infrastructure required by top game developers.

Oh yeah absolutely, we will have full support for DX10, we will use their geometry shader stuff to accelerate shadow generation and other techniques in the engine, we will be using virtual texturing. With both UT2K7 and Gears of War we are offering our textures at extremely high resolution like 2000x2000 resolution which is a higher resolution than you can effectively use on a console because of the limited memory, but it is something that certainly will be appropriate for PC's with virtualized texturing in the future, so we will whole-heartedly be supporting DX10. It’s hard to say what the timeframe will be on that because Vista could ship this year, or next year, or whatever. But, we will certainly be supporting it really well when it comes along.

This also makes it pretty obvious that he's planning on releasing Gears of War on the PC at some point, possibly for Vista.
