This news is a little late, but important nonetheless: The PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 won't support Windows XP, because the engine has been upgraded to DirectX 11.http://images.eurogamer.net/2012/articles//a/1/5/1/1/2/6/1/man-at-old-computer.jpg/EG11/resize/300x-1'But my computer is for serious things, like charts.'
The operating systems supported are Windows Vista and Windows 7.As a result, Black Ops 2 has "enhanced lighting, shadows, anti-aliasing, bloom, depth of field, ambient occlusion and other enhanced effects that are still in the works",a FAQ on the game's website revealed (http://community.callofduty.com/community/call_of_duty/english/black_ops_2/blog/2012/09/02/pc-specifications-technology-enhancements-intel). "And the game can run at higher resolutions and higher frame-rates on the PC."DirectX 11 more efficiently uses the processing power of a graphics card, too, which benefits "the entire range of supported GPUs".Black Ops 2 PC performance has also "significantly improved", and there will be more quality vs. performance options to play around and get your desired result with. There's no frame-rate cap.
