Dx12 Question

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

Hey guys, just a question about Dx12. Once windows 10 is properly released and I get it, I have read in a few places that my card might be able to use it to some degree? I have a AMD R9 290, awesome card and overclocks great.
Was just wondering if that is possible, I am not too fussed if it isn't compatable as Mantle is brilliant, but just thought I would ask.

Yes your card will be compatible with DX12, however there are certain hardware features that may well be included that won't be supported on current hardware, possibly even GM204 (980GTX)

From wikipedia:

Volume Tiled Resources, Typed UAV Load, conservative rasterization, better collision and culling with Conservative Rasterization, Raster Ordered Views (ROVs), swizzled resources and compressed resources,[100] additional blend modes,[101] programmable blend and efficient Order-independent transparency(OIT) with pixel ordered UAV

No benefits, eh?

I'm pro Windows 8.1 so this isn't a post saying not to upgrade to it, as there is no reason not to.

But, BF4 is one of the few games that benefit from using DirectX11.2, and Mantle here for whatever reason. So it's a bit of a selective example

Worrying now about something that will be released in Q4 2015.............................they can change things twice and then twice more!

Exactly, No benefits for gaming going to windows 8.
