And I'm sure this will totally work fine, has no drawbacks and scales perfectly.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Some msi motherboards can allready do that

A Mainboard can do what an API can do? I am confused.

He's talking about the MSI cards that sported a Lucid Hydra chip that allowed to run cards from AMD and Nvidia at the same time. And the performance was horrendous.

OT: Ha! I'll believe it when I see it.

I never heard of it and can't imagine how this would work. Thanks for hinting me on what to Google now.

You're welcome

Yeah,I read those, thanks again. Such a hacky solution... If it wasn't dead by now, I would say “kill it with fire!“ now.

I have a question about DirectX12 in general: If a developer did not specifically make a game for DirectX12, then will you still see performance upgrades?

It's my understanding that you won't see any of the benefits of DX12 unless a developer specifically designs a game for DX12. Fortunately DX12's benefits look substantial enough that the adoption rate should be much faster than DX11. For instance CDProjekt said they'll explore adding DX12 support to Witcher 3 post-release, so once Windows 10 and DX12 launch, Witcher 3 should hopefully go from being a system melter to a game that most people can run on medium-high settings.

Alright, that's nice to hear!

Then they will add more layer to the API instead make it simpler, and there will be a lot more problem, even i found many games have problem running on dual graphic card setting.
