Deus Ex 3 Will Support 3D, DX11, Acronyms
PC Gamer have the latest on all the different technical set-ups that Deus Ex: Human Revolution will support. First up, it'll support DirectX 11, which is great! It'll also support 3D, which is great if you don't have astigmatism and don't mind playing your video games looking like a D-list celebrity with a hangover. Finally, it'll support AMD Eyefinity, which you can see above, but don't be fooled! AMD Eyefinity doesn't just stop at three monitors- it actually supports up to six monitors, which is perfect for me, as I was wondering what to do with my five spare monitors and my five-foot long desk.

Alright, so it probably won't amaze you.
“We do use tessellation; this was one of the first features we started making use of with DX11. We mainly used it to improve character silhouettes, but also used it for some other objects in the world.
“In Deus Ex: Human Revolution you see characters up close a lot as you interact with them, like in dialogues. Using tessellation to improve their look really helps make the world and the characters more believable, which is important in a story-heavy game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution.”
That wasn't really worth it, was it? I'm sorry. What a shame.
