Windows 10

When Windows 10 arrive will a FX-8320@4.2GHz(FX-8350) bottleneck a R9 290/GTX 970. I'm asking because I heard Windows 10 will bring DX12 and make 6-8 Core CPUs get their full usage and they will perform better.

i wouldn't bet on it, most things known about dx12 are just speculations.

@KendoSapion That's what I hope because I'm getting a PC with a R9 280 soon and might wanna upgrade in the future. Probably at christmas/next year.

I would not buy hardware based on software speculation, no matter how positive that speculation is, it doesn't make sense. 

 

Would you continue smoking cigarettes with the notion that eventually a cure to lung cancer will be available?

 

Windows 10 and DX12 are supposed to bring about a lot of positive changes, but until those changes are actually here at our doorstep in a multitude of games and applications, I am not making recommendations based on what could be.

When is W10 speculated to arrive?
