DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade for Crysis 2

The DX11 Ultra Upgrade is a free visual improvement add-on introducing DirectX 11 support as well as a wealth of graphical improvements and performance optimization for both DX11 and DX9 API's.

When using the new "Ultra" spec, DX9 platforms will benefit from real-time local reflections and contact shadows. The owners of DX11 platforms, in addition, will be able to enjoy hardware tessellation (requires the installation of the "DX11 Ultra Upgrade"), parallax occlusion mapping and several improvements for shadows, water, particles, depth of field and motion blur.

I love how the DX11 shots look just like DX9, but BRIGHTER!

i thought by clicking on the annotation that there will be an video of 2klicksphilip about crysis

[SomeRandomPiggo]

2kliksphillip aside, its amazing how much detail it can get from like 30 faces of geometry

[tankfire]

I'm laughing my ass off at 2klicks mastery with the cry engine

[TofuCS]

*Oh phillip*

[tortillatime]

Free DLC on a patch. God i miss these times.

[ThiagoJaqueta]

Yea, that was a free update.

Today developers wouldn't do half of this, call it a "remaster" and charge $40.

I can never hear this song the same way again. Thanks 2kliksphillip and CoryLaddo

Usually DirectX 11 will boost performance. You might see a dip in performance because of the new DX11 specific effects being calculated on your graphics processor though.

The interactive water is, in my opinion, awesome.

[iseriouslycantthinkofauser]

I knew the 2kiks video reminded me of something.

[paulmalherbe]

I only watched this video because of the music. :)

[Xyos]

Crazy how ahead of the curve Crytek was with their tech.

[Fierywell]

I love how the HDR post processing is basically the same in Source makes me cry

[EvilLamas]

each direct x version has some new features available, the most notable DX11 one is tesselation- where textures can apear 3d up close.

[UltimaOtaku]

all i have to say is the building coming down looks amazing with this <3

[johngalactus]

Finished the game but planning to play again. Crytek - you are probably one of the only game developer to really listen to gamers. You guys rock, though it should have been done when the game was released. But anyways, great job Crytek. This really IS DirectX 11 in its glory.

7 years old this upgrade and it still looks better than fallout 76's SIXTEEN TIMES THE DETAIL
