Direct X 12

[Raphhashem]

What do I need to use Direct X12 when it comes out? A new graphics card, a new os? I've seen certain amd cards saying they are for direct x 11.2 and I was wondering if its a hardware thing I need. I have a gtx 670 and don't plan on updating soon, but I wouldn't mind more headroom on my processor..

We will have to see what Microsoft say at GDC about compatibility and stuff like that I hope they are making it as open hardware wise as possible personally.

They will unless they want to lose out to Mantle.

maybe you'll still be able to use the GTX 670 on DX12, we just have to wait and see what they say

Mantle is not exactly open to all its some of the 7000 series and up at the moment with no plans to expand just yet.

That's why I stated some 7000 series cards not all.
