| Zappykins said: True, true. DirectX 11 game out so quickly because DX10 needed some refindment. DirectX 10 was a major change behind the scenes for the platform and some legacy support was dropped. But DX10 didn't work that well, so DX 11 fixed much of the problems and expanded on what it was already doing. Many games just skipped DX 10. I remember Microsoft saying DirectX 12 was waiting till hardware got better. But their press releases make it look much more like DirectX 12 than an update of DirectX11. But they have also stated that DirectX 12 will not launch till Windows 9. So even if they show off the platform of DirectX 12, how long till we start seeing it in computers? Think it might still be a few years? |
Win 9 is set to be announced in April, and should be released within a year of then so not too far off. After XP they changed back to a faster cycle with a new Windows every ~3 years.
