Microsoft 10?

Just like Mac OSX.

Make sure you feed that card with enough airflow though...

Comes with Win10 and each game that uses it, will install config files itself. Only thing you need to do is use latest drivers.

Just like Mac OSX.

Except it is OSX, and not APLX

You need to wait for games that uses DirectX 12. Only games or software that implements DirectX 12 can use DirectX 12.

Games or software using earlier version of DirectX will gain no benefits from DirectX 12 as it can't use it, as always.

You need Windows 10 to enjoy DirectX 12.

Here is a list of games that have or will have DirectX 12:

Keep in mind that we don't know if it is an effect in some room, at a specific part of the game that uses DirectX 12 just to say "Supports Directx12! Buy me!" on the box, or the entire game is designed and optimized with it.
