GPU Upgrade + DX12

[Gregster]

Whatever happened to 11.2?

The same thing that happened to 10.1

Think it's only battlefield 4 that's 11.2 or 11.1 is it?

You have been using Mantle too long, its DX11.1 according to the overlay, i think

DirectX® 12
The tessellation performance on AMD Radeon R7/ R9 series is up to 2X faster than the previous generation, and DirectCompute performance is also faster to accelerate advanced post-processing, filtering, and anti-aliasing techniques. Direct X12 games has never looked this good.

* Based on preliminary DirectX 12 specifications as of July, 2014, AMD’s GCN-based products are expected to support DirectX 12 upon its release. The DirectX 12 specification and support for it are subject to change without notice.

The last sentence about sums it up.

We won't know whether a card fully supports DX12 until the software goes live as a finsihed product.

By the time DX12 hits, it won't matter for most, they will have upgraded again.
