Here's AMD admitting they don't fully support it. Many of the current cards in both caps are supported by DX12 but none of the cards fully support DX12. Get the distinction? Geforce claims to get close by supporting feature level 21_1 on a bunch of cards, but only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
