    FYI cards which do not support Dx 11 are just about 7 years old. For a simple comparison new consoles come out every 8 years. It's time for a hardware upgrade at that point. Also, here is a list of DirectX 11 Games. As you get closer to the current date you will notice more and more games which drop Dx9 support and only support Dx11 and newer cards.

    Sorry but if you have GPU's which are that old I wouldn't consider it "needless." It is time for an upgrade even if you use the console standard.

    For about 150 dollars you can get the lowest Tier current generation GPU (GTX 1050 Ti or Radeon R9 380) which will be about 20% faster than the top tier card of the 2010 and about 120% faster than the entry level card of 2010.

    If you want to discuss which computer hardware is worth it or whether or not it will fit in the case you own then feel free to send me a PM.

    Pffft. I went out and bought a new laptop a couple months ago. (Not because of the game upgrade, just because my battery died, & they wanted more for a replacement battery than I spent on a new "puter :/) After the last update, when the mod dropped, I have gotten a notification that my graphics driver is out of date & the game may not work. LOL

    not sure how so many people can play with such terrible graphics card? even I accepted the fact that I had to upgrade. Got me a GTX 1050 and play on MAX settings huge difference to before running a crappy Radion that came with the computer. I guess some people don't want to upgrade or can't afford to.

    I will continue to get by with an ancient Radeon 5700. Right now, I don't have £100-150 to waste/spend on something as unimportant as a new graphics card.

    Windows 8.1 will continue to work. Windows XP will no longer be supported.
