ArmA 3 - DX10-only title, no Windows XP support - briefly
(hx) 05:56 PM CEST - Jun,06 2012 - Post a comment / read (4)
Bohemia Interactive has revealed some new minimum specifications for their amazing military sim game, ArmA 3. According to the company, ArmA 3 will require at least a dual-core with 2GB of RAM, 15GB of free disk space and an Nvidia 8800GT or an ATI Radeon HD 3830. In addition, it seems that ArmA 3 will not support DX9 at all as the game requires Shader Model 4. Moreover, Windows XP will not be supported (even though DX10 is supported by that OS) OS: Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1
CPU: Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or ATI Radeon HD 3830 or Intel HD Graphics 3000 with Shader Model 4 and 512 MB VRAM
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 15 GB free space
DirectX: 10

Direct X 10 isn't supported on a gaming level in XP, it is only DX 9. quote: it seems that ArmA 3 will not support DX9 at all as the game requires Shader Model 4. Moreover, Windows XP will not be supported (even though DX10 is supported by that OS)

DX10 as I recall could be installed on XP years ago when Vista was out. I remember doing such a thing when I played lotro and they added dx10 support. It seemed to work considering all the options became available and it ran like ass. It wasn't anything official and was more of a mod btw. Then again MS OS stuff is little better than a cobbled together mod with no support.

No, it was never really supported.
There was a project leaf which allowed COMPATIBILITY for dx10 by emulating some functions in dx9c.
It worked badly and is not real compatibility.
As for MS being cobbled together, as an Android dev I can tell you MS operating systems are huge engineer constructs containing so much data (due to the huge fragmentation) its amazing it works.
It's well made, and fact is 95% of all machines use it.

Thanks for agreeing with me! The MS I'm specifically referring to are additions such as windows gaming and others.
