Yes, DX 12 is MSoft's thing, and both AMD and Nvidia can, and will, use it. It's not like that GameWorks sh!t that only Nvidia cards can use, even if sometimes it does more harm than good (like the HairWorks fiasco).

As for the second part, my knowledge is well below that level, so I can't comment .

Actually quite a few parts of gameworks can run on any DX11 hardware ... 

It's not like Nvidia usually uses their own specific technology in it so it can run on any vendor ... 

And PhysX could run on the CPU, but Nvidia tweaked it so that if you try to do that, the performance would stall. The same goes for their GameWorks things, Nvidia hardware => ok, non-Nvidia hardware => runs very poor.

 

That's why propietary tech is bad for all of us, and we should push for open standards rather than ask for even more propietary software.
