exitrade Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 During its Windows 10 event, Microsoft teased so much that we've had to cover it in multiple stories, but one of the more PC centric talks was about DirectX 12. DirectX 12 will ship with Windows 10 later this year, and will provide developers with more power and control over their games, which will provide them with the ability to give gamers more complex, and better performing games. Microsoft's Phil Spencer teased that DX12 will reduce the power consumption of DX11 by 50%, which will allow many more mid-range mobile devices to run "high-end" mobile games. Spencer also announced that Unity has adopted DirectX 12, which is big news in itself. This will allow games like Fable Legends to use DX12 to work between Windows 10 and Xbox One owners, and even cross-platform play, which is super exciting.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paft Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 But bad developers and sloppy console ports = -500% performance anyway. It's becoming rarer and rarer to see a well optimized "PC" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's becoming rarer and rarer to see a well optimized "PC" game.Time for the "PC Master Race" to accept the cold hard reality in that they are second class citizens who get crap ports that are 1000% more hackable, anti-cheat be damned.

x3r0 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think most of devs are willing "freely" to rewrite their released games to DX12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VileTouch Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 wait, in the graph, why are they ADDING the numbers? they're supposed to be CONCURRENT threads so only the highest number matters.but the problem i see is that in order to use DX12 at all, you need a new GPU that supports it. a new gpu that is most likely orders of magnitude more powerful than the one you currently have. so bragging about how fast it is simply doesn't add up. it might be because of direct3d, yes. but it's much more likely due to that new shiny gpu that's installed.

anuseems Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Gaming is a big part of the Windows universe, and Microsoft is making sure that Windows 10 and DirectX 12 will power some of the best games across all device types and sizesFrom Neowin:With DirectX 12, the company is offering game developers access "closer to the metal" than ever before, allowing them to tap into the full potential of today's powerful multi-core processors. Games will be able to run up to 50% faster even on the current DirectX 11 hardware. That will be especially important for open world games, which tend to be very CPU-bound.Spencer showed off the benefits of the new game programming API by displaying an upcoming Futuremark demo running on two machines with the same hardware configuration. One of the computers ran the demo using DirectX 11, and as the level of graphical complexity and detail was increased, it slowed down to a standstill.http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-10-gaming-on-steroids-with-directx-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
