Ouch... xD

That "Currently targeting Feature Level 12.0+ hardware" points to DX12, so Win10 is required.

But that doesn't mean that Vulkan can't have its own implementation in the future.

Razer is always more expensive than the rest, and with this enclosure being the first of its kind, there's another premium to it.

More enclosures will launch, cheaper and surely with the option to install the PSU we want too.

Probably the first external GPU enclosure with Thunderbolt 3. High hope many manufacturers including Alienware, MSI & Asus should stop making their own super speed connectors enclosure exclusively & make cheaper enclosure at least.

I really wish Blizz would just give us an Overwatch animated tv series or at least a movie to tie it all in. I've loved what they've done with their cinematics and CGI over the eyars and how it;s evolved, I just really want to see them dabble with what they've got in the movie/tv industry, I'm sure they can give us a few hit series/movies.

I'm surprised that I'm still looking forward to Overwatch despite me not getting into both Betas and waiting this long.

Feature level 12_0 also requires WDDM 2.0 and Direct3D runtime 12 so shader model 6.0 is definitely exclusive to Windows 10 ... 

I guess these improvements to HLSL pretty much puts the whole effort for Vulkan all in vain for PC gaming ... 

I look forward to future HLSL extensions Microsoft can keep bringing in ... 

I do hope we see more Vulkan pushing and support in the future though.

Vulkan is an API and so is DX12 so there is no exclusive features for the latter unless the ARB decides to ditch Vulkan. PC is an open platform but now you have an option of whether or not to upgrade ...  

Intel IS practically the only choice if you want performance or efficency and even value sometimes, I doubt the Zen microarchitecture will be competitive ...

Nvidia is almost the only choice with them getting 70%+ share each quarter ... 

PCs and consoles are always going to be different with the former being more than just about gaming ...

I saw this yesterday at Guru3D, the original source. At first I decided to not post it because of how fake it looked, but I today I thought about posting it and explaining why I think it's fake, so let me say thank you for posting it .

Ok so I think this "leak" is fake and here is why. First, this are the specs:

Leaving the name aside (X80 looks more like a placeholder than a definitive name, but it doesn't matter), let me focus on the number of Shader Cores and Texture Units, the ratio between them and how that ratio has changed with every new Nvidia architecture

Now, I'm no expert or anything like that, but it's quite clear that whenever Nvidia has come up with a new architecture, the ratio between those two elements has changed. And yet, those leaked specs say that this time Nvidia won't do any architectural change, they will only add more of everything in the same proportion.

To me, that screams fake.
