I am curious what lead to this exception, such as cyber cafés or other international trends, because I really have no idea.Īs for graphics drivers? I am guessing that we will see it pop up in new releases. (AMD’s Mantle API pre-dates Windows 10.) The biggest surprise is that Microsoft released such a big API onto Windows 7 even though it is in extended support. Further, both DirectX 12 and Vulkan have forked away from Mantle, which, of course, supported Windows 7.
Of course, Vulkan also exists, and has supported Windows 7 since its creation. Just make sure you don’t install KB4482887? Trollolololol. If you enjoy your favorite games running with DirectX 12 on Windows 7, you should check how those games run even better on Windows 10! Windows 10 has critical OS improvements which make modern low-level graphics APIs (including DirectX 12) run more efficiently. How are DirectX 12 games different between Windows 10 and Windows 7? This does not port other graphics features, like the updated driver model, which leads to this excerpt from the DirectX blog post:
I should note that the benchmarks for DirectX 12 in WoW are hit or miss, so I’m not sure whether it’s better to select DX11 or DX12 for any given PC, but you are free to try. This allows those games to run the new graphics API with its more-efficient framework of queuing work on GPUs, with support from Microsoft. Other than confirming that DirectX 12 will ship with Windows 10, Microsoft has yet to announce solid information regarding which of its older OSes will be compatible with the API.Microsoft has just announced that they ported the DirectX 12 runtime to Windows 7 for World of Warcraft and other, unannounced games. Yup, DX12 is not coming to Windows 7," he said "One thing that's not going to happen to it is DX12. Despite those numbers, DirectX 12 will not be supported by Windows 7. Huddy said that Windows 7 is Microsoft's most popular operating system, making up 52% of all Windows users. Thanks, Story: Richard Huddy, AMD's chief gaming scientist, has recently spoke at a PDXLAN presentation - the video of which has since been made private. Microsoft is a key, strategic partner for AMD and we’re continuously collaborating with them on DirectX 12." Richard has no special insight into Microsoft’s Windows or DirectX roadmaps. "Richard Huddy does not speak for Microsoft, and he was unfortunately speculating from Microsoft’s publication of key dates and milestones for Windows 7 lifecycle and mainstream support policy. "There have been reports based on a video of Richard Huddy of AMD making speculative comments around DirectX 12 support on versions of Windows," the statement read. DirectX 12 will not be supported by Windows 7, according to AMD's Richard Huddy.ĪMD has told Gamespot that Huddy has "misspoke".
