STALKER Anomaly - DX8/DX9/DX10/DX11 with Standart Graphics Comparison

I have a relatively high end gaming laptop and whenever I try DX10 or 11 the lighting is just too much it almost looks blurry and sidoroviches little tunnel looks so red it glowed like a rave. Very happy with DX8

DX9 and DX11 Look the same

if my laptop could only run dx9 with sun shadow smoothly.. at least more than 30 fps but always.. random drops sucks, just like my stupid integrated videocard!

Dx8 is very dark cuz it's for low end laptop or PC that having hard time running in lightning

If you want the best performance go with DX8 I'm playing Anomaly on DirectX 8. I have no regrets, all that fancy graphics i just don't like them and it makes loading time very slow, yes DX8 might be darker but also it fits the atomo perfect

what about AVX???

it's not dx 8 it's dx9 instead

The only problem i have is the ridiculously long loading time after you die or enter a new area

Как на dx8 сделать картинку ярче?))

DX9 rules!

where can i buy a pc gamer with 200$? :(

Thnx

Dx8 my beloved

Been tweaking the settings on a pretty low end laptop, and from what I could gather, DX10 has been the most stable option with the best performance while not sacrificing graphics too much. For some reason, DX9 runs worse and crashes often, and DX11 eats up FPS without much change in visuals imo. DX8 runs the best (obviously). The static lighting can be a bit jarring, but it's definitely the best option if you're going solely for performance.

Don't see people talk enough about this but I think DX 10 and DX 11 open up a lot more modding capabilities, some mods like heats vision mod required Dx 11 or Enhanced shaders required Dx 10.

DirectX8 not suported! DX9 static light SM 2.0 DX9 dynamic light SM 3.0

I would consider Dx9 to be the best for people aiming for high performance > Lower graphics

Dx10/11 is more for people wanting to use other options that become available in settings making graphics better, and of course impacting performance.

When people refer to “static lighting” is that only in dx8 or also dx9? I’m not sure what to look for visually to be honest.

Thank you. Didn't realize Dx9 holding up so nice even after all these years. Really stable one as well
