Once again the PS4 doesn't use DX 12. Any GPUs that can support mantle will also support DX 12 so it pretty much makes mantle irrelevant for the most part. I see absolutely NO REASON why game engines won't support DX 12. The PS4 could also support DX 12 but microsoft won't let them hence why Sony created a custom API in the first place. 

There is no new god damned features in directx 12. It just exposes more parts that are in existing GPUs. I don't see why the PS4 can't support DX 12 for technical reasons. 

I'm not arguing with you - but could you link the part saying any cards that run mantle will run dx12 ? I didn't get to see the whole presentation so I've still not sure how much hardware is needed for dx12 etc.

Though from the sounds of it, dx12 is unique. All previous dx versions have brought in new features eg procdural rendering, tesselation etc. If this is just a performance boost then meh, my PC already trashes consoles so this will be a waste of time for PC folks =/

DX 12 works on any modern era GPU.

Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell. Basically if you're playing any modern games on PC your GPU will support DX12.
