DX9 vs. DX11
By Iceira
found a visual video on tube with the diffrence in GFX Settings from creative assembly

Richard Gardner, grafik Developer ( he explain it, and with visual show )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bl5_PiKXSY
all credits is hes and creative assembly offcause.
-------
but i allso want a faster game loading into the battlemap ingame

either run as dx9 ( i have no problem at max settings here )
or
dx11 with low shadow and grass ( if you want it faster de-select more check boxes ) if you want more speed seem in my system to be same as dx9 , but other things also count (RAM,HD) so next to lower is weather and water

all this depend on pc system, SSD disk and how fast ram and how much i have 16gb ram and 2*gtx580 (sli)
as i said its ur system and maybe you dont have a problem with load time, but some of us do. we played this then it was dx9 only and i miss that fast loading ingame battlemap, so i run it as dx11 with shadow low and grass low and that match my old dx9 all at max settings.

maybe there's not much effort but at least he linked to the developer video about DX, some people might not have seen it

well feel free to suggest other issus rather then that. i have allso seen alot of comment on TW and other forum, and there was so few tip here and there, and shogun2 is old now and problem still there, but i guess you don't get it.. the guide was a basic idea to match full DX9 in a DX11 setup...but heres another little tip for people you can allso try balance mode in the grafix card settings that can help even older card

Poorly written and not much effort put into this guide, it's all basic knowledge for goodness sake!
