Why is that RO runs so badly even in ultra high end systems?
Aside from bad programming on Gravity's part, why is that RO runs so badly even with an "ultra" high end system? (Example: a 6700k, low latency DDR4, PCIe SSD, 1080 GTX 8GB)
I'm looking for solid information about this, since I don't really know how else to measure it and I don't have deep knowledge about gaming or systems programming. From what I could find, the client is still using DX7 (or some kind of DX9 adapter, not sure). Gravity was working on a DX11 port but I can't find any inform
Part of the issue is that the client was designed during the Win9x-era, where the GPUs weren't all that great with 3D rendering and CPUs were single-core (I still use this kind of system as main, so I can compare). Graphics are rendered by DirectX and all graphics card power makes difference in the game fluency (even an upgrade from a 8MB GPU to 32MB GPU is like two different worlds).
But there are few factors in the modernization, that may be partly at fault, why the client chokes on newer
