I’m more interested in Vulcan being as it’s more cross platform and open but both will be good as long as they deliver, so far from what we’ve seen with Mantle and dx12 it’s looking promising but I think the real big gains in performance will come about when the games from the ground up are designed to take advantage of it from the engine to the drivers and most of the focus bring put on that and not older dx, then we should get some real performance increases anything from 30% to 100% or more depending on what they are trying to render but this will take some time, a year, 2 maybe, who knows.

But I have to admit, because of this I’m wondering if I’ll need to upgrade my cpu at all late this year which I have a Intel Sandy Bridge quad core at 3.4ghz, so far these new api’s seem to use a lot less cpu cycles, in any event I think I will upgrade with the hope that Zen cpu from AMD does well, be my first upgrade with AMD cpu and gpu in a while.

I am all about DX12 if it helps my old FX8350 and improves my gaming experience. Also Vulkan looks to be amazing as well and i can’t wait for that api as well.

Yea still waiting on those DX12 titles…on Pc of course

When it equates to the majority of games being developed with the api’s in mind is anyone’s guess

I think with the Xbox One getting dx12 and with the growth of Windows 11 with gamers, I suspect most games will support dx12 before the year is out, when I say support, many will still support the older dx but thanks to the PC and Xbox One being the same api, I bet most focus will be on that, when dx12 comes out on Xbox One that is, they are taking there sweet time.

The number of DX12 games on the other hand is more disappointing. Microsoft previously stated there would be wide spread adoption by now which clearly isn’t the case.
