DICE To Drop Support for Windows XP In Battlefield 3

If you still haven’t found a reason to upgrade from Microsoft’s nine-and-a-half year old OS, perhaps that’ll change by next year. DICE rendering architect Johan Andersson confirms via a Twitter tweet that Battlefield 3 is being developed with DX11 in mind and will not support Windows XP or DX9 as a fallback.
That means at least a DX10-capable graphics card is required. Also, a 64-bit OS comes “recommended.”
Frostbite 2 is primarily developed for DX11. XP & DX9 is _not_ supported, 64-bit OS is recommended. Lots of time to upgrade if you havent!
Given that Battlefield 3 isn’t due out until next year, there’s still ample time to make the switch, latecomers.
