Is this shot in DX9? I didn't know you could get god rays using DX9. That was the only reason keeping me from switching from DX11.
You can. There is no visible difference between DX11 and DX9 really.
DX11:
- Access to MSAA, few people seem to use it due to its horrid performance
- TINY bit better water, difference is negligible
- Access to HDAO
- People claim there's a lighting difference, I've seen none
DX9:
- Better performance
- Can add AO through the config, some settings almost on par with HDAO
- Better draw distance on trees
- Can use SMAA / SweetFX
- Allows proper Alt + Tabbing. DX11 does some weird windowed mode that works the GPU
Outside of that, they're identical. This game has the worst DX11 implemention I've seen
Unless you are desperate for MSAA, I really can't recommend DX11.
