Together with the interface DirectX 12, Microsoft is going to release and version number under 11.3, which will be able to offer the same new features graphic display, but will lose the functions that reduce the load on the CPU. Such an update is strange, but it seems, Microsoft is going to turn the old trick and make DirectX 12 exclusive to the upcoming operating system, Windows 9, while DirectX 11.3 will be publicly visible. Such a move would stimulate the transition to a new operating system users "stuck" on Windows 7.
It is important to note that the new mapping functions are not supported by all modern graphics solutions. It is not clear what kind of equipment is required for the "full" support the new API, however, during the announcement of video cards based on processors, NVIDIA Maxwell hastened to declare that they will support at least four new features: Rasterizer Ordered View , Typed UAV Load, Volume Tiled Resources, Conservative Raster.
DirectX 12 And DirectX 11.3 must leave at the end of 2015. Related Products :
