This might sound a bit of a dumb question because obviously Directx 11 puts more strain on your system and the FPS should drop right?
But I just heard from people that it can actually increase performance because it is more updated and stable than Directx 9?
I just want to ask this before I start messing with downloading Directx 11 and all that. I have a Radeon 4850 1GB and it has Directx 11 support. I could really use some extra FPS in this game. Although I only have 2GB of RAM sadly:s . A pretty old rig.
How much has going from 9 to 11 has improved your CCD performance people?

In my case, CCD runs smoother on DX11. I think it gives you better performance without putting heavy stress on your machine. But I don't think 2GB of ram is enough ;) .

I have 4 gigs of ram on mine, and CCD is so, so much better. I can max everything out now, whereas before I could only play on medium because maxing would cause terrible lag :(

That's my experience.


If you don't get lag now, you don't have to download DX11 if you don't want.

As with Aaron, going from 9 to 11 I managed to Max everything out and still see an increase of 25+ fps!
Before I would have most settings maxed except shadow and mirror quality and aa at 4x and I'd average 26-30 fps on the not detailed mods.
Now I have everything set to Max and will now average 55-60 fps with the same mods :)
Specs are below, in my sig.
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 4.01GHz
Corsair H100, SP100 Fans @ 22°C Idle, 52°C Load
8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1333MHz
Asus R9 280X DirectCU II @ 1070MHz
OCZ Vertex 4 120GB SSD | Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Logitech G27 @ 900 Degrees

With DX9 I used to get only 25 fps, even with medium settings. Now, I can max out with 50 fps :) .

I guess my rig is pretty outdated :D Going from dx 9 to 11 changed nothing. CCD is playable but I need to upgrade fast.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
