No DirectX 12 on Windows 7, exclusive to Windows 8/10
I guess gamers will have no choice but to move to Windows 8 and 10 if
they want the best performance and the greatest graphics. I have no problem with that myself. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/138625-Windows-7-Wont-Support-Direct-X-12?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=news -- Silver Slimer OpenMedia Supporter www.silverlips.ca |

greatest graphics ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ Oh, the horror. It's deja-vu all over again. Do you see the difference here ? http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/lSfN7OTUOTA/maxresdefault.jpg I knew you could. And when they do these, they spend three months doing extra code for the one on the left. Someone *could* add water effects to the one on the right, if they wanted to. This kind of photo is used to sell ATI video cards. If you look at the body of the car, notice the body work is the same. Bumping the DX level, didn't make the body look different. http://cdn.geckoandfly.com/wp-conten...comparison.jpg In the article here, they're just fiddling with the interface between OS and video card. No mention of anything graphically related at all. http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/04/...formance-gain/ "The framerate is pretty much the same but but the CPU time in milliseconds spent to render that frame is much lower" Impressive. I guess. It's like knowing the sewer system in your city is now 30% more efficient. Exciting times. Paul |

If they are not updating current O/Ss they are being very shortsighted. I'll do without the latest games rather than change my main system. -- Bob Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England I'd give my right hand to be ambidextrous. |
