P1zz4Th13fI'm really hoping that dx9 thing gets removed, seriously. It gets me from 80 fps down to 40 and everything looks like it's covered in body gel. I understand skins need a more powerful API to render those dank graphics they have, but having it on matchmaking is just stupid.
bro, i don't know about the fps, but i'm pretty sure you can still reduce visual clutter on dx9. there are particle limitation packs on this forum, there's some cfgs that give dx8 lightning and looks on dx9 as well, etc....in the end, it looks pretty good, even though it's dx9
and like the guy said above, they want to force dx9 so that people can see the weapon skins and they can get more profit of it.
