So I'm seeing a lot about how DX12 will help xbone and help it get up to the PS4's power, but will the PS4 benefit? Or does it even use directX?

As far as I know, the PS4 uses a custom low-level rendering API developed specifically for the PS4 hardware. It may have an OpenGL-like wrapper layer but no DirectX.

1) DX12 (amd xbox one)... nop  :blush:

 

2) Vulkan (amd steam)... maybe :rolleyes:

 

3) OpenGL Next (amd ps4)... i think so  B)

 

 

(keep in mind that "Vulkan" beat DX11 as far as i know, so yeah... a new linux era is coming)

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU
