1478860 2021-07-26 21:43:00 You don't BUY a DX12 card, you have a card, and update to DX12....it's a gaming thing mainly.
DX is always changing, nothing to do with the hardware.....

I understand that, I think, but it seems that not all video cards support DirectX12. My current one, for instance.

1478862 2021-07-27 02:02:00 ....it's a gaming thing mainly......That's why it seems so silly/unreasonable for MS to expect Win11 gear to support DX12 - there must e a huge community out there for whom it is totally irrelevant. Tony (4941)
1478863 2021-07-27 05:46:00 Got 2 EVGA GTX 750 Ti/EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC that are DX12 capable in 2 comp's

Both cards were $80/90 at the time

'Microsoft has detailed how Windows 11 is built for gamers with new improvements such as DirectX 12 Ultimate, Direct Storage, and Auto HDR (high dynamic range.) The company is committed to gaming and says that it's a core part of Windows 11, which is expected to ship later this year."

Yep a bit silly .
on business PC's running 10Pro ? gaming is a core part of W11 on business PC's ?

Perhaps MS is looking into the future & hoping to sell more PC games & compete with Steam etc ?

1478865 2021-07-27 06:17:00 I can understand MS pushing DirectX12 in general, but making it a basic requirement is definitely OTT. Having said that, I've finally got a working PC again that does not have DX12, and the latest insider build installed OK. Tony (4941)

the XBOX app in Windows is great value for money if you have the time to game already. Why pay $80-$90 on steam for a game you can rent for $12 a month on the XBOX app. unfortunately, real life got in the way, so I had to drop the XBOX app, but I know quite a few people who use it already over steam, or epic, or whoever
