DirectX 12 promises both dramatically increased performance in games, thanks to reduced CPU overhead and better support for multithreading, and significantly reduced power consumption, a real boon for owners of gaming laptops. It will of course be built into Windows 10 and compatible with Windows 8 as well, but the news isn't so good for Windows 7 diehards.
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
If someone posted this obvious troll comment about Sony, they would have been marked inappropriate and restricted.
But not anast because he is posting about Xbox and knows the site mods personally.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
The latest from Microids who have got right behind the little blue guys previously, developed by Ocellus Services is The Smurfs - Dreams.
Darwake: Awakening from the Nightmare is a visually stunning hand drawn cinematic puzzle platformer adventure set within a child’s endless nightmare.
R.I.P Windows 7
it was fantastic OS
Not a surprise, Microsoft has always used DirectX as a way of getting gamers to upgrade to a new version of Windows.
Come on guys typical MS practice to get you to buy a new OS.
I just hope Dx12 is as good as advertised and that Windows 10 is as good as Win7
Heck just put some new paint on Win7 and call it 10 for all I care.
I'll be sticking with Win 7 either way, despite this news. I honestly can't see the majority switching to (9) 10 either, unless they make some drastic changes.
As it is right now, it just seems like Windows 8 with a new coat of paint. One thing they need to do, is that they need to get rid of the ugly, ugly tiles and make ''apps'' actually close when you want them to. Also how the file system is working for 7 is better.
every DX12 game will just about support mantle and every Mantle Supported game will have DX12 support , so for ATI/AMD windows 7 will live on ..
