How many games use DirectX 12? Serious question.
John Reyes
No one cares. DX-to-Vulkan is already a thing, and many games already run at near-full speed on it. AND IT'S NOT EVEN OUT YET.
Three (3).
All Windows Store "exclusives". All mediocre-at-best trash.
John Peterson
Exactly 12
Josiah Myers
>Vulkan
DOA
Julian Ward
It's going to be optimized for Volta
Hunter Long
DirectX 12 exclusives:
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
Forza Motorsport 6: Apex
Halo 5: Forge
Forza Horizon 3
Gears of War 4
Halo Wars 2
Forza Motorsport 7
Dominic Williams
Wiki pages say more than 28.
Levi Bailey
>practically everyone and their mothers adopting it
>generally works better than DX
>open-source and platform = no OS requirements
>Wolf2 was Vulkan only
...so how is this thing "dead" exactly?
If anything, DX12 is the new DX10 here: fucking stupid and pointless.
Henry Young
very neat, although the sampling rate is quite low and it desperately needs de-noising.
the EA demo seems to have higher sample rates but that framerate looks like shit.
idiots itt not realising how long people have been dreaming about realtime raytracing
Lincoln Anderson
Vulkan is going to be like Open GL, forever behind MS's DirectX
Robert Lewis
So 28 released games use DirectX 12 and only 7 of them use it exclusively.
I'm curious if most devs use older versions of DirectX or if they use alternatives like OpenGL and Vulkan.
Leo Moore
The DX12 is going to be more used as Windows 10 is getting more used.
Luis Harris
they use older versions, duh
most PC gamers are still on windows7
Eli Rogers
>Remedy demo
MY DICK
QUANTUM BREAK 2 WITH RAY TRACED LIGHTING
Luis Diaz
Vulkan is more stable then Dx12 though, and hardware assisted raytracing is more for the CAD and professional modeling world then it is gaming.
Mason Perry
A lot of devs just aren't comfortable yet with DX12. Quantum Break originally released on the windows store with DX12 only, and it ran like absolute crap on Nvidia cards IIRC. Then a steam version came out with DX11 only, ran a lot better on Nvidia but iirc was about the same for AMD cards. The windows store version never got a DX11 or performance update, and never will.
Jaxon Carter
No it fucking won't, dude. It's been 3 years and 7 mediocre Microsoft forced exclusives is all there is.
Brody Ramirez
And what graphics card am I supposed to use this with?
Justin Myers
>tons of artifacts
Why even bother? Nobody will be able to use it except for pre-rendered content and for that realtime performance doesn't matter.
Jayden Roberts
>Vulkan is going to be like Open GL, forever behind MS's DirectX
If you say so.
It's already ABOVE the DX in practically all possible ways.
MS' shooting themselves in the foot harder each year. They just announced that they're introducing a W10 update that'll make latest OGL and older DX versions incompatible with the OS.
Henry Reyes
No way they'll fucking do that. DX9 and 11 are far too essential... games still come out using those APIs.
Oliver Roberts
Vermintide 2 just came out
Ryder Myers
>No way they'll fucking do that.
They can, and they will. It's just another console-gaming trend they're trying to jam down PC bros' throats now: remove the "backwards compatibility", for the sake of selling new games AND re-releases of old games for the customers.
AMD already cut DX9 support from their latest GPUs. Not shitting ya.
And it keeps getting worse: Now MS is stating that soon ALL PC games will be RENTED from their 60$ / month gaming service.
Joshua Nelson
>he actually believes this
haha wow
Ryan White
>tfw still on my gtx 660
Waiting was worth it
Jeremiah Robinson
It's $10 and can be $2 on sales at CD ket. try harder cuck
John Collins
You sissyserious?
Eli Richardson
what is dx, vulkan etc even?
a graphic driver?
Aaron Young
3d libraries
if you don't know what a library is, google man

Source?
Aiden Walker
That sounds like bullshit fearmongering, provide sources, nigger.
Hunter Johnson
ugly
Charles Myers
>yeah, lets just fucking use dx11 until 2030
